PowerProtect Data Manager 19.14 File System User Guide

Cancel a File System agent backup or restore job

You can cancel a File System agent protection job (backup or restore) from the PowerProtect Data Manager UI. The job must be in a queued or running state. The backup or restore job runs for a primary backup that is configured through a File System agent protection policy.

About this task

You can perform two types of application agent job cancellations in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI:

  • Cancellation of a job group that includes one or more asset jobs.
  • Cancellation of an individual asset job.
NOTE:
  • On a Linux platform, if a block-based image restore fails, or if you cancel a block-based image restore while it is Running, you must manually mount the target volume before next attempting any backup or restore on the same volume.
  • Upon cancellation of an incremental block-based backup, the next backup is promoted automatically to a full backup.
  • When a job completes before the cancel request reaches the application host, the status of the canceled job transitions to either success or failure.
  • You can cancel many other types of jobs, in addition to protection jobs. The PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide provides more information.

Perform the following steps to cancel an application agent protection job in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.

Steps

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI left navigation pane, select Jobs > Protection Jobs.

    The Protection Jobs window opens to display a list of protection jobs and job groups.

  2. In the Protection Jobs window, perform the required type of job cancellation:
    • To cancel a job group:

      1. In the Protection Jobs window, select the required job group and click Cancel.

        A job group warning prompt appears.

      2. Click OK at the prompt.

      You can monitor the job group cancellation in the Protection Jobs window. The job group status changes to Canceled when the cancellation of all the asset jobs is complete.

      To monitor the cancellation of individual asset jobs within the job group, click the job ID in the Protection Jobs window. The Job ID Summary window opens, where you can view the status of each asset job.

    • To cancel an asset job:

      1. In the Protection Jobs window, click the job ID.

        The Job ID Summary window opens to display the job details of the assets in the job group.

      2. In the Job ID Summary window, select the required asset job and click Cancel.

        A job warning prompt appears.

      3. Click OK at the prompt.

      You can monitor the asset job cancellation in the Job ID Summary window. The asset job status changes to Canceled when the job cancellation is complete.

    NOTE:When the cancel request for a job cannot be completed, an informational alert is displayed.
