# Stopping Backup Job

In the Veeam Agent graphic user interface, you can start a backup job in one of the following ways depending on how many jobs are configured in Veeam Agent:

- In the main pane of the control panel, press the **Stop Job** button under the name of the job in focus.
- In the **Backup Jobs** pane of the control panel, right-click the job that you want to stop and select **Stop Job**.

When you stop a backup job, the job session will finish immediately. Veeam Agent will not produce a new restore point during the session, and the session will finish with the *Failed* status.
