Disabling a backup account

You can disable a backup account at any time. It will block its backup without deleting its data. Once disabled, you will be able to delete it, or to enable it again.

Select the accounts to disable within the account list, untick the "Enabled" check box and then click on the "Save modifications" button.

In the account list, the disabled accounts will now appear as such.

Account deactivation

To reactivate an account, perform the inverse operation.

Deleting a backup account

Before deleting an account, it is necessary to disable it.

After being disabled, you will have to click on the "Delete" button.

If you accidentally deleted an account, you have a few seconds to cancel the operation before the account disappears from the administration interface:

Important ! An account deleted from the administration interface is put in a queue for permanent deletion.

This means that you will not be able to recreate an account with the same name immediately, and that in the event of an error, our assistance will reinstate the deleted account.

The final deletion of an account will be carried out within one day to one week.
