Disable scheduled Backups with cli or script

[jannikahoi]

Hallo Community,

id like to pause all scheduled backups over a cli or script. I found out that there is a veeam powershell module but that is only compatible and availble with Veeam Backup & Replication 11. I checked all of veeams registry entries but had no luck there to find an option to pause or disable backups. I am aware of the checkbox under the control panel to disable scheduled backups. Is there a way to do it with the configuration exe? or is there a simple command or syntax that isnt documented anywhere?

Thank you!

edit: I need to pause all Backup Jobs for a remote ps script which upgrades the windows version and i dont want any backups to interfere with that. Best would be: Pause backup schedule until next restart

Hello,
I am not aware of any CLI for the standalone Veeam Agent for Windows, I could take a look internally and let you know. If I were you, I would probably play with the Windows Services, stop, and disable them, take a look at the official PowerShell command for this:

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powers ... rshell-7.2

Please let us know if this workaround will be enough for now.

Thanks!

Hey jorgedlcruz,
thank you for that super fast answer! The approach with disableing the windows service should work for me.

Thank you and have a nice day!
