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

A button for canceling the backup process

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:

  1. Open a terminal session on the panel
  2. Run mysql -upterodactyl -p
  3. Type your database password
  4. Run USE panel;
  5. Run SELECT * FROM backups; and find the id of the backup job you want to remove (you can eventually filter your results with your server id or the is_successful column)
  6. 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)
