Veritas NetBackup™ for Enterprise Vault™ Agent Administrator's Guide

Canceling an Enterprise Vault backup job from the Activity Monitor

You can cancel an Enterprise Vault backup from the NetBackup Activity Monitor. If you choose to cancel a backup job, you should understand that the following applies:

  • When you choose to cancel an Enterprise Vault agent job, all child jobs are canceled. The selected job is canceled along with any sibling, active or queued job. If a parent job exists, it waits for all of the children jobs to get canceled and then the status of the parent becomes canceled. The status of the sibling jobs that completed before the cancel request does not change and you can use their image for a restore.

  • If you choose to cancel a full backup that involves an Enterprise Vault SQL database (such as a directory database), then you must make sure that you exit that back up. Then you must make sure that you take a full backup before you start the next cumulative backup.

To cancel an Enterprise Vault backup job from the Activity Monitor

  1. Log on to the master server as administrator. Start the NetBackup Administration Console.
  2. Click Activity Monitor.
  3. Select the first job of the backup that you want to cancel.
  4. Right-click on the selected job and select Cancel Job.

    The selected job is canceled.
