# Disable automatic backup of cloud server network volumes

You can disable scheduled backups in several ways:

* [stop the plan](#stop-plan) — the plan and its settings will be saved, and backup creation will stop. You can enable the plan later;
* [delete the plan](#delete-plan) — no more backups will be created with this plan, and the plan cannot be restored.

## Stop the plan \{#stop-plan}

If you need to temporarily pause backup creation for a plan while keeping its settings, stop the plan execution.

Previously created backups will be saved. You can enable the plan later.

1. In the [Control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/vpc/default/baas/), on the top menu, click **Products** and select **Cloud Servers**.
2. Go to the **Backups** section.
3. Open the **Plans** tab.
4. In the  plan menu, select **Stop execution**.<MoreVerticalIcon />
5. Click **Stop execution**.
6. Optional: to re-enable the plan, in the  plan menu, select **Resume execution**.<MoreVerticalIcon />

## Delete the plan \{#delete-plan}

After deleting a plan, no more backups will be created with it.

Previously created backups will be saved.

2. Go to the **Backups** section.
