Stopping a Backup for a GaussDB Instance

Scenarios

You can stop instance-level backup tasks as needed for your GaussDB instance, including automated full backups, manual full backups, and differential backups.

Precautions

Stopping a backup for an instance will stop all its ongoing full and differential backup tasks.

• Backups can be stopped only for instances whose DB engine version is V2.0-2.8 or later. You can view the backup stopping task information of an instance on the Task Center page.
• Backup tasks may fail to be stopped in the following scenarios:
  • The backup task is about to complete, that is, the backup is complete, but the status has not been updated. Wait until the backup task status changes to complete.
  • The backup task has just started executing and the backup process has not been started. In this case, try again later to stop the backup.
• You are advised not to stop the first automated backup after an instance is changed or restored. Forcibly stopping that backup may cause incremental and differential backups between the current time and the next automated full backup to fail, and point-in-time restoration may be unavailable. Stop that backup only when absolutely necessary.
