Hi Rene,

I am sorry I missed this one, I started on a reply yesterday but got interrupted and then forgot....

The possibility to abort a running backup-job unfortunately did not make it in time for the release, but it is very high on the todo-list. Currently, the best way to terminate the job is:

If it is a job to external disk:
* Remove the USB-stick (do not unmount it, just physically remove it)

If it is a remote target job either:
* Disconnect the network cable for a while, it will take a minute or two before the backup-script will give up trying to connect.

or

* Disable the remote target account

or if you have commandline access, you could always kill the backup-script named backup.pl

/PA

thx

killing the job worked...
