FABSYS_BACKUP-KILL(1)

NAME
fabsys_backup-kill - Forcibly kill a running backup run

SYNOPSIS
fabsys backup-kill <brun_id> [--note <note>]

DESCRIPTION
The fabsys backup-kill causes a running backup run to abort, and immediately be considered "failed". This can be useful if a backup run was accidentally started, or if a run is malfunctioning or hanging for some reason.

Note that killing a backup run does not immediately kill in-progress volume dump processes, or other in-parallel aspects of a backup run. However, all aspects of a backup run should notice fairly quickly that a backup run has failed (after a few minutes at most), and will abort themselves.

OPTIONS

<brun_id>
    The backup run id to kill. Backup run ids can be shown with the "fabsys_backup-status(1)" command.

--note <note>
    This flag specifies a free-form note to indicate why the backup run is being killed.

PRIVILEGED REQUIRED
The issuer of this command must be able to read the FABS configuration (specifically, the database access information), typically in /etc/fabs/fabs.yaml.d/.
