@Patrick_Bossman: Hi @Brad_Peters
Here are the commands to see a backup, disable it, see it disabled, and re-enable it:
sctool tasks
sctool backup update -c <cluster id> <backup-task-name> --enabled=false
sctool tasks -a
sctool backup update -c <cluster id> <backup-task-name> --enabled=true
sctool tasks
When it’s disabled, you need to use -a to see it, and it will have an asterick in front of it, which means the task is disabled.
The cli portion of scylla manager is very useful. The --keyspace argument can be used with glob patterns to include/exclude objects, if you only want to exclude certain objects.
