Cancel backups

Describe the feature you would like to see.
Lets say we started a backup and forgot to exclude a file or folder. Instead of taking up space and corrupting the os make it so we can cancel the creation of the backups
Describe the solution you'd like.
A button for canceling the backup process

I would love that!
I ran into an issue today where the host system ran out of space during the backup process. Without a way to cancel a backup job, it requires some expertise to go in and remove the backup job as it will never complete.
I'd like to see this added. I accidentally forgot to mount my custom backup location and I couldn't get rid of the backup in progress thing so I just made a new backup, deleted the server, made a new server, and uploaded the backup files because I couldn't stand it lol.
For anyone wondering, if you already know the job is irrelevant and will not disappear, you can remove it manually:
- Open a terminal session on the panel
- Run
mysql -upterodactyl -p - Type your database password
- Run
USE panel; - Run
SELECT * FROM backups;and find theidof the backup job you want to remove (you can eventually filter your results with your server id or theis_successfulcolumn) - Run
DELETE FROM backups WHERE id=<id from previous step>;
With this the job disappeared in the panel for me. Caution though, this only visually removes the job. This won't stop the background job if it's still somehow running (but you should probably kill it first before doing these steps)
