on your management server you may have setup a backup schedule.

Thanks for your comment David, that is the case but does not answer the question which is how to cancel it.

I wish to cancel a backup which appears to be running without my starting it.<br />
The PC is running windows 7 Professional 64 bit<br />
<br />
I am using Acronis Backup version 12 which is described when I click the &quot;About&quot; button as follows:<br />
<br />
Web console service: v.12.0.2607<br />
<br />
Backup management server: v.12.0.3622<br />
<br />
Backup management console: v.12.0.6081<br />
<br />
When I launch backup Exec in Microsoft explorer using <a href="Http://localhost:9877/" rel="ugc">Http://localhost:9877/</a><br />
<br />
And observe the Status it indicates that a backup is being performed with 52% complete.<br />
<br />
I normally manually start backups and wish to start another backup without waiting for this backup to complete.<br />
<br />
How can I cancel the backup that is running (or any backup that is running). <br />
Powerring down the PC and poering up again makes no difference, even with the MMS service stopped (Acronis Managed Machine Service)

Cancelling an Acronis Backup 12 job

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
