How to stop a backup started in error
Hi
Help will be much appreciated - thank you.
I believe that the scheduler started a backup - that I wished to stop.
When I opened Acronis - it showed that a particular set was currently backing up.
I tried to stop it by right clicking the Acronis icon in the system tray, and clicking 'Stop'
This did not work.
I then tried to cancel it by also right clicking the Icon and selecting cancel.
This also did not work.
I then tried to find the appropriate section in the User Guide - Could not find anything.
Eventually I just hard shut down the computer, rebooted, opened Acronis and fixed the offending backup.
My question is:
Surely there is an easier way to do this ?
as it seems to be something that could occur quite often.
Thank you.

Cancelling and or stopping a task once it has started can take a very long time, and as you ahve found doesn't always work.
It has been suggested to Acronis in the past that there should be the option to pause a task once started, though there would be integrity of the image problems.
Stopping the service might work, but it might actually lock the service to prevent this one running.
