3 min · Screen: /admin/settings · Needs: Permissions.Settings.Manage

At the top of Admin › Settings. Use it before work on servers or storage.

  1. Enter a Reason

  2. Optionally set when it Resumes by itself - in your time zone

    Leave the date empty to keep the pause until somebody resumes.

  3. Decide whether anybody who may run a plan may still start one by hand

  4. Click Pause scheduled runs

    Every schedule pauses: its runs are recorded as skipped, queued automatic runs wait, and runs already working finish. Every page shows a maintenance banner.

  5. When done, click Resume scheduled runs

Settings are grouped by area. Change a value, give a reason, and Save changes. The audit log keeps the value before and after - so the settings screen is also a record of who loosened what.

When it is switched on, destructive changes - deleting a plan or a storage target, shortening a retention policy, relaxing an encryption policy - wait on Admin › Approvals for a second administrator. They are carried out exactly as asked once approved, or refused with a reason.
