Stop a plan/task
Click
Backup plan
Stop.
Stopping the running backup plan stops all its tasks. Thus, all the task operations
will be aborted.

Stop.
What will happen if I stop the task?
Generally, stopping the task aborts its operation (backup, recovery, validation,
exporting, conversion, migration). The task enters the Stopping state first, then
becomes Idle. The task schedule, if created, remains valid. To complete the
operation you will have to run the task again.
• recovery task (from the disk backup): The target volume will be deleted and
its space unallocated – you will get the same result if the recovery is
unsuccessful. To recover the "lost" volume, you will have to run the task
once again.
• recovery task (from the file backup): The aborted operation may cause
changes in the destination folder. Some files may be recovered, but some
not, depending when you stopped the task. To recover all the files, you will
have to run the task once again.

Backup plan
Edit.
Backup plan editing is performed in the same way as creation (p. 209), except for
the following limitations:
It is not always possible to change backup scheme properties if the created
archive is not empty (i.e. contains backups).
1 It is not possible to change the scheme to Grandfather-Father-Son or Tower
of Hanoi.
2 If the Tower of Hanoi scheme is used, it is not possible to change the
number of levels.
In all other cases the scheme can be changed, and should continue to operate as
if the existing archives were created by a new scheme. For empty archives all
changes are possible.
Why can't I edit the backup plan?
• The backup plan is currently running.
Editing of the currently running backup plan is impossible.
• The backup plan has a centralized origin.
Direct editing of centralized backup plans is not possible. You need to edit
the original backup policy.
