Suspending Scheduled Backups

You can disable scheduled backups if you do not want to run automatic backups for some period of time. For example, you may want to put backup activities on hold if you plan to perform resource consuming operations on your computer at the time when the backup job is scheduled. After the operations are completed, you can enable scheduled backups again.

The disabling option is applicable to backup job sessions started upon schedule. You can create standalone full backups and perform ad-hoc incremental backup even if the scheduled backups are disabled.

The disabling option is applicable to all backup jobs configured in Veeam Agent for Mac. If you enable this option, all jobs that you configured will not start automatically upon the defined schedule. If you want to prevent a specific job from starting automatically, disable scheduling options in the properties of this job.

To disable scheduled backups:

1. From the Veeam Agent for Mac application menu, select Settings.
2. Select the Disable scheduled backups option.

To enable scheduled backups:
