Symptoms: Backup jobs that were once restartable can't be stopped anymore

Description: What to check/change to ensure backups stay restartable

In order to stop backups, the backup job needs to run with the "Restartable Backup" flag checked on the Backup options tab.
If an existing backup job is modified, and its selection set is changed, this flag automatically gets reset to the unchecked state. Therefore, and edited job might from then on in run without being restartable.

As a workaround, make sure to recheck this box whenever you modify your jobs. Fault NVG-4034 has been raised for this.
