How do I remove a backup set?

Short answer: Click the trash button on the set's card. It stops and leaves the list; versions already stored at the destination aren't erased. The built-in Fast drive working set can only be switched off.

Click the trash button at the top right of the set's card ("Remove this backup set"). The set disappears from Data Backup and stops running. Removing it from the list doesn't erase the versions already stored at its destination.

The built-in Fast drive working set can't be removed — only switched off with Back up automatically — so protecting your fast drive always stays one tap away.
