Break the backup process

[enginaar]

Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible to break a backup process.

I've started a reseller backup to an ftp server. It's been hours since I started this backup but nothing shown on the ftp server side. I'm watching the "/home/tmp/reseller" directory to follow the backup process. It's been changed many times but nothing changes on ftp or resellers user_backups directory. Where does this backups go?

If I can't find the backup files, I want to break the backup process and restart to backup to resellers user_backups directory, then I can move the files to my other server by ftp.

Please help.

Use ps aux to find the process and then kill it.

there is a tar process and gzip process. Will all backup process be broken if I kill these processes?

Probably not. Use "pstree -up" and kill their parent process.
