Starting and Stopping Application Backup Policy

You can manually start an application backup policy. This may be helpful if you want to create an additional restore point in the backup chain and do not want to change the backup schedule. You can also stop the backup process, for example, if processing of a computer is about to take long, and you do not want the backup process to produce workload on the production environment during business hours.

Veeam Backup & Replication does not check whether connection to computers is active at the time when the command is sent. Keep in mind that the start or stop operation will be performed only on those computers that received the command from the backup server.
