Backups & restore points · Versions and restoring

Can I cancel a restore that's in progress?

Short answer: Yes. A running restore or export shows progress and a Cancel button. Cancelling stops it cleanly and leaves the backup untouched; only one restore runs at a time.

Yes. While a restore or export runs, the version shows a progress bar, a status such as "Restoring 3 items…" with a percentage and a Cancel button. Cancelling stops it cleanly — it isn't treated as an error, and your backup is untouched.

Only one restore runs at a time in the Versions window; the other versions' buttons are greyed out until it finishes or you cancel.
