Scenario
- There exists a policy that snapshots directory ABC
- Directory ABC now no longer exists
- You want to keep existing snapshots
- You want to stop kopia from attempting to take any more snapshots
In order to achieve (4):
- Set the policy to manual only
- Disable inheritance from parent/global policy
(2) is required as otherwise I find ABC's policy somehow inheriting the scheduling settings from the parent/global policy and thus is scheduled even though manual snapshots only is set.
To carry out the above steps:
- KopiaUI:
- Edit Policy
- Scheduling > Manual Snapshots Only
- Other > Disable Parent Policy Evaluation
CLI: set policy --manual --inherit false
