    Cancel a backup¶

    You can cancel a running backup if, for example, you want to do another maintenance of a server and don’t want to wait for the large backup to finish first.

    To cancel the backup, use the pbm cancel-backup command.

    pbm cancel-backup
    Backup cancellation has started
    

    After the command execution, the backup is marked as canceled in the pbm status output:

    pbm status
    

    Output:

    2020-04-30T18:05:26Z Canceled at 2020-04-30T18:05:37Z
