My guess is that there should be no problems if you reduce the timeout
for example from seven days to five.  It is just a guess based on what I
read in the Github issue to which you originally contributed.

Is the current value of seven days causing problems for you?  I can
only imagine that it would be a problem if you are backing up a large
number of large files of which most change frequently.

Backing up the files underlying the tables in a database system for
example might be expected to cause issues.  In my view BackupPC is not
particularly suitable for that kind of backup.  My own database
servers are backed up using the Postgress dump utility via cron jobs.

Your translation utility seems to need work. ;)
