Hi guys,

Can we pause/stop a backup that is already running, and continue it from the point where we stop?
If it is possible, can anyone show me how?

Thanks

You can restart a restore if it's a restartable restore: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/search/restartable restore?scope=SSGSG7

Backups cannot be restarted. I suspect the reason is because they are incremental, so if you start a backup today, the client determines what files need to be backed up, you pause it, you start it back the next day, other files will have changed in the meantime and will likely be missed. So you end up with an incomplete backup as opposed to a good backup.
