Stopping Snapshot Creation

You can stop snapshot creation on the Snapshots page.

  • This feature is supported only in version 8.1.3.200 and later.
  • If the snapshot is ready to complete, the command for stopping the snapshot will not take effect and the snapshot will end normally.

Precautions

Only the snapshots in the Creating state can be stopped. A snapshot creation task that just started or is about to complete cannot be stopped.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Snapshots.

    In the Operation column of a snapshot that is being created, and click Cancel Creation.

  3. In the dialog box that is displayed, click Yes to stop the snapshot. The snapshot state will change to Unavailable.
