I have a couple of Windows 7 machines at work. I have them both set up to perform weekly backups to a network drive. I'd like to temporarily disable that, while I'm on vacation. But I don't know how.
I've gotten into Backup and Restore. It lists the backup destinations and I see the one that I'd like to disable. But there's no Enable or Disable functionality that I can see there.
Q: How do I disable the scheduled weekly backup?
Answer
The dialog is just to make things easier. Behind the scenes it creates a regular Task Scheduler task which you can modify. It is listed under Task Scheduler -> Task Scheduler Library -> Microsoft -> Windows -> WindowsBackup -> AutomaticBackup task. Change the start date past your vacation (leave the rest alone).
