Re: [Bacula-users] Pausing the backup schedule
Hi, Just comment out the jobs in jobs.conf and it will not do those backups. Make sure to either reload bacula or stop/restart bacula to make the configuration changes stick. Then just uncomment the jobs when yo are done with what you need to do and restart bacula again. iana wrote: Hi, I'm looking for a way to tell bacula to stop doing backups while I do some administative things like labeling tapes (or restoring).
