Stopping a backup Job

[marius roma]

A job usually taking few hours is performing a full backup of a single big VM and is taking a very long time.
I suspect that there is some problem realted to the target NAS or to the proxy.
I cannot stop the job gracefully because it is processing a single VM.
I would like to reboot either the proxy and the NAS.
Can I force stopping the job withoiìut damaging the backup chain?
Which other solution can I apply?
Regards

Hi Marius,

If there is unexpected shutdown (reboot, restart or hard stop), then the latest restore point will be in inconsistent state. The subsequent job run should re-use that data and create a new restore point.

Thanks!

Many thanks for the quick answer.
So, older restore points will still be consistent, is it correct?

Yes, absolutely.
