Suspending Backup

You should suspend backup any time you want to temporarily stop backing up an Agent computer, for example while you perform maintenance. Suspending backup stops all backup configurations from running on that computer until you or another user resumes backup. Suspending backup does not affect restores.

Important: Data that changes on an Agent computer while backup is suspended will not be backed up until backup is resumed.

To suspend backup

  1. On the MyLiveVault Home page, the All Computers form lists all the computers on your company account. Click Backup/Restore in the Action column for the computer whose backup you want to suspend.

  2. On the Computer Information form, click the Backup tab.

  3. In the Suspend/Resume section, click Suspend. A message box indicating that the suspend request is being processed opens. Click OK to close the message box.

    All backup for the computer is suspended. The text in this section switches to Backup is suspended, and the button changes to Resume.
