Holding the job queue
You can place the entire job queue on hold to make changes to your environment. The server is paused to place the job queue on hold. When the job queue is on hold, only active jobs continue to run unless you choose to cancel them. No other jobs can run until the job queue is taken off hold.
To place the job queue on hold
- Do one of the following
To place the job queue on hold from the Job Monitor tab
Select the Job Monitor tab.
To place the job queue on hold from the Backup and Restore tab or the Storage tab
Do the following:
On the Backup and Restore tab or the Storage tab, double-click the server or the storage device where the job is running or scheduled to run.
In the left pane, click Jobs.
- In the Jobs group, click Hold, and then click Hold Job Queue.
- Click Yes.
- If active jobs are running, select the active jobs that you want to cancel, and then click OK.
