How to stop AutoFTP Backup on the Slave Node in SolusVM?

Answer

There is no direct option to stop the AutoFTP Backup from the Panel. The only way is to kill the backup process running on the Node by following the below steps:

1. Log in to the corresponding Slave Node via SSH (where the backing up VPS is hosted).
2. Search for autoftpbackup.php and/or bunzip2/vzdump processes:
   

   # ps aux | egrep 'backup|bunzip2|vzdump'

3. Kill those processes:
   

   # kill -9 <PID1> <PID2> <PIDn>

   For example:
   

   # kill -9 17738 11617 11621

4. Remove all the temporary files created by the backup manually. They are stored at the /vz/dump (for OpenVZ VPSs) and /tmp (for KVM/Xen VPSs) directories:
   

   # rm -rf /vz/dump/vzdump-openvz-*
   # rm -rf /tmp/dump-*

5. Remove /usr/local/solusvm/tmp/ftpbackup.pid lock file, otherwise, next time scheduled task fails to run the script:
   

   # rm -f /usr/local/solusvm/tmp/ftpbackup.pid
