Pause backup process

[focus]

Would be nice to be able to pause the backup process and resume it manually.

It would be helpful in cases when you have a huge backup processing and need to update software on NAS for example or need to temporary get the USB device (used to store the backup) away from PC.

Hi,

need to update software on NAS

Why not to postpone the upgrade until the backup is done?

temporary get the USB device (used to store the backup) away from PC

How huge is the backup we are talking about?

What workloads you do you backup with VEB?

Hey guys.

I'm making full PC backup. Resulting file is 520 GB, not so much, but it takes a lot of time on first run (20 hours last time: http://i.imgur.com/bGoxRm5.png) because of strange issue I'm having (already sent a report to the support on this, case number is 01080066).

I can postpone the upgrade for sure, or cancel backup and re-launch it later, but it's kind of workarounds for the absence of the pause function.
Just trying to share another feature request from the real user of the software guys, no offence or whatever, it's wonderful piece of software already, especially considering it's free!

It’s a good feature request – thank you! In regards to slow performance have you tried to disable throttling?

Thanks for your answer, Dima!
I totally forgot about that throttling option, going to turn it off and see how it will work next time.

You are welcome! Let us know how it goes

Hey guys, I've no problems with backup speed anymore, even with enabled throttling option. Not sure what helped here, I'll keep an eye on this and will let you know if issue appear again.

And I just recovered my Win10 using your product (from the recovery media) after Win10 stopped to boot after recent updates portion.
And I should say everything worked just great! I was able to run from CD with your recovery image, select needed options and recover whole Operating System from the backup located on the NAS server, woot!
The only issue I had - I wasn't able to see connected network devices in the network discovery window, I got this error there:
"Недоступен список серверов для этой рабочей группы"
Sorry, I forgot to make a photo with that error.

So I just entered full network path (like \\192.168.0.103\Backups\etc) and my access login \ password and your tool was able to discovery backups.

That's it, I'm really glad I've decided to try your tool, it saved me lot of time today!

Hello Dima,
Glad it helped you and thanks for the feedback

Next time you see the network error please collect as much troubleshooting info as possible and share it either with support team or with us thru the forums. Cheers!
