We are looking to implement automated backups but have concerns it will adversely affect overall performance. We have hundreds of courses and the backup process will likely run a long time.
Is there a recommended approach to killing a running automated backup process if we notice its adversely affecting performance? I use Windows server and IIS,
While the automated backups are running a CLI process shows up Task Manager, I could end the process but was concerned it may have adverse unintentional consequences, perhaps the CLI is even the regular cron job and I'm ending the wrong process too.
Is there a more graceful and safer way to shutdown automated backups while they are running?
If I alter the front end settings to exclude the day the backups are currently running on could that gracefully end the automated backups?
Thanks
