how to pause a backup

Thread solved

I have a backup that is schedule to run at a time I need my PC for a zoom meeting.  Is there a way to stop or pause the backup and start it back up after the zoom meeting?

Ed, the simplest method would be to change the schedule for the backup task which you would do by opening the main Acronis GUI then clicking on the Schedule option for that task.

Alternatively, the MVP Assistant can do that. If you don't already have it, you can download it from the link in my signature below.

In the Settings for Acronis Configuration, you need to have the Scheduler Manager downloaded.

Then, in the Acronis Configuration section, select the backup task and use the menu command Acronis Utilities/Scheduler/Task scheduler operations/Disable task schedule. You can later Enable task schedule. This way you do not have to actually change the schedule.

Or, you can select Acronis Utilities/Scheduler/Pause all scheduling to apply to all tasks.
