Abort Backup on Error

The Abort Backup on Error property specifies that a backup aborts if it fails for a snapshot related issue after the snapshot is created and while the backup is using the snapshot to back up open or active files on the file system.

The most common reason for a snapshot issue after it has been created and is in use by a backup, is the cache storage filling to capacity. If the backup detects a snapshot issue after it was successfully created and is in use, the backup job aborts with a snapshot error status if Abort on Error is checked (default).

This property does not apply to successful snapshot creation. The backup job continues regardless of whether a snapshot was successfully created for the backup job. The Abort Backup on Error property is only applicable to snapshot errors that occur after the snapshot has been successfully created and is in use by a backup job.

This property appears for master servers only.
