Dear Colleagues,

how does one pause a backup from client side using the command line tool urbackupclientctl ?

many thanks for advice,
Thomas

Right now I’ve created two .bat files for users to run as administrator.
net stop “UrBackupClientBackend”
net start “UrBackupClientBackend”

Would prefer to have an item in the Urbackup menu:
Pause until restart
Pause 1hr
Pause 12hrs
Pause 24hrs

and a resume option if it’s in “paused” mode.

Haven’t tested, but does backup obey/not backup on “metered connections”?

Sorry to zombie this but nothing shows up on google except for this thread, is there still no way to pause a backup from the CLI

CLI…client or server.

If you’re talking client CLI…a process kill on urbackups processes will certainly do the job :wink:
