Pause backups and other activity
By default, NetBackup or its users cannot pause data protection activities. Backups and other activities continue even if a scan detects malware in an image or a recovery point. Data protection activity includes backups, duplication, replication, and image expiration.
.
You can allow NetBackup and authorized users to pause data protection activities. Then NetBackup can automatically pause activity on specific clients. For example, if a scan detects malware in backup images or recovery points for a specific client. A pause applies to scheduled backups and other automatic activities. It also applies to operations that a user initiates.
Authorized users can manually pause data protection activities. These users have an RBAC role with the necessary security permissions to pause data protection activity.
