Status on implementing a Pause?
Using ATI 2017, latest build as of 7/6/2017, my laptops normally backup to a NAS when they're on my home LAN. When the laptops are away from home, I get bombarded with notifications of "backup failure" (duh). I was on chat with technical support and they did not admit that there is no pause ability. In fact, you can not change any backup settings (such as "Do not schedule") unless ATI has access (apparently) to the destination.
I've read the first 25 or so postings using the search keyword pause, but nothing mentions a fix for this other than disabling ATI on reboot. I echo the frustration of many other users who are accustomed to other backup software that have included this for decades. I've used ATI on/off since 2007 but am now convinced I must switch to another product, because, if this kind of basic feature is missing, what else is not implemented?
Oh, and before anyone else mentions it... Yes, I can click "Back up now", which then shows a "Stop" button... but clicking that only stops the backup for about 4-5 minutes before it reschedules and tries the backup again. My backup profile has dozens of includes/excludes that I don't feel like rewriting every time I want to take the laptop off the LAN.

The other area where you should probably make changes in for the Options > Advanced > Error handling settings.
There are what cause your backup task to keep retrying when it can't contact the NAS and nag you with lots of error messages etc.
I personally turn these error handling settings off!
