Pause backups and other activity

By default, NetBackup and authorized users are not allowed to pause data protection activities. Backups and other activities continue even if a scan detects malware in an image or a recovery point.

You can allow NetBackup and authorized users to automatically pause data protection activity on specific clients. For example, if a scan detects malware in backup images or recovery points for a specific client.

Data protection activity includes backups, duplication, replication, and image expiration. When it is enabled, a pause applies to scheduled backups and other automatic activities. It also applies to operations that a user initiates. Authorized users are those that have an RBAC role with the necessary security permissions to pause data protection activity.
