Temporarily Suspending Backups

You can temporarily suspend automatic and scheduled backups, setting the time limit for the suspension. This means you don't need to remember to manually un-suspend to resume backing up, though you may manually un-suspend any time. You may still manually back up if you wish. Backing up manually does not cancel suspension of automatic or scheduled backups.

Right-click the Secure Backup and Share Desktop Client icon in your system tray, then select Settings.
If prompted, enter your username and password.
Select More Settings, clickOptions, then click the Scheduling tab.
At Temporarily suspend automatic and scheduled backups for, enter the duration of the suspension. Specify the time limit in hours (1-23), days (1-6) and weeks (1-6). If you don't specify a time limit, the default is six hours. The shortest time you can suspend is one hour, and the longest time you can suspend is six weeks.
Note: To change or extend the time limit, you must un-suspend, then re-suspend to reset the time limit.
When you have finished changing settings, click OK. Your settings are saved and the Settings window closes.
Note: You do not need to be logged in to Windows to back up. However, your computer must be turned on, not in sleep or hibernation mode, and must be connected to the Internet.

You can quickly toggle this setting on or off by right-clicking the Secure Backup and Share Desktop Client icon Mozy Tray Icon

in your system tray, selecting Settings, then clicking Suspend. The time limit will be either the default of six hours, or a duration you had provided for the last suspension.
