Suspend a BigMIND Backup

Introduction

If you need to temporarily stop backing up a device, suspending it is the best option. Suspending acts like a pause on the backup process from the server side, without removing the device from your BigMIND online account. This means the device remains registered, and the BigMIND application will halt the backup until you request to resume it.
