Backups & restore points · Managing backup sets and destinations
How do I stop a set backing up without deleting its versions?
Short answer: Choose Remove destination (keeps stored versions) in the set's Destination menu, then Disconnect. Backups stop, but every version already saved stays where it is.
Open the set's Destination menu and choose Remove destination (keeps stored versions), then Disconnect. The set stops backing up and its automatic backups are switched off — but every version already saved at that destination is left exactly where it is. Nothing stored there is deleted.
You can point the set at a destination again whenever you like. Don't confuse this with Delete & start fresh, which does erase the stored versions.
