Suspending all jobs for one night

[marius roma]

I need to suspend all the scheduled jobs for one night without affecting schedule and without powering down the Veeam B&R server.
All the jobs scheduled for the night should simply not run and start next night as scheduled.
A solution could be powering down the Veeam B&R server but I can't.
Can I stop any service?
How can I ensure that when the service restarts skipped jobs don't start and that they will simply run next night as scheduled?

Hi Mario,

You can temporary disable backup job via Veeam B&R console (right click the backup job and hit Disable).

Many thanks for your answer.
The problem is a little bit more complex, because I have sevaral jobs and part of them are normally disabled.
I can print a list of all the jobs, note each job I disable and enable only jobs that were disabled.
I would like a simpler way to disable all the Veeam B&R activity without editing single jobs...

Maybe a PowerShell script that disables only desired/listed jobs? Such script can be easily reverted to enable these jobs back. Disabling Veeam Backup Service should also work but it will affect other Veeam B&R activities, that’s why I don’t like this idea.

What is supposed to happen if I simply stop the Veeam Backup Service?

From the top of my head: you may have issues Veeam B&R console and backup jobs wont start.

Many thanks. What is suppopsed to happen if today I stop the Veeam Backup Service and Tomorrow I restart it (or I restart the whole of the Veeam B&R server)?

It should be similar to backup server shut down but without actual shutdown. If you are going to do that I’d recommend to disable all Veeam services, just in case.
