Stop Backup (DS-User Initiated) behavior

Modified on Fri, 22 Sep, 2023 at 8:40 PM

This article describes the behaviour when a user manually stops a backup set (from the DS-User).


When a user stops a backup set, DS-Client is still waiting for the file confirmation.


  • The WaitConfirmation parameter is set in DS-Client Advanced Configurations (Setup > Configuration > Advanced : Miscellaneous). This is the time out value when waiting for file confirmation. The default value is 60 seconds.
  • If DS-Client does not receive all confirmations when the time out is reached, DS-Client will disconnect from DS-System and mark the backup set out of sync.
  • In the above scenario for Exchange backup sets, DS-Client will not send the retrieve deleted/overwritten generations and the Delete last session requests.
  • The next synchronization will correct the problem caused by disconnection.
