Stopping Scheduled Backup Once Started

How do you stop a scheduled backup once it has started? I manually ran a backup before it was scheduled to start. Later the scheduled backup kicked in. There appears to be several processes running and I was not sure which one I could kill.
Also Is there a way to stop a scheduled backed one time without deleting the schedule?

Thanks,

You simply click the CANCEL button to stop any backup in progress, no need to delete any schedule or use Task Manager for that matter.

You may need to press CTRL+ALT+M to bring up the in progress window where you can press Cancel.  Or the running backup icon might be in the "hidden" area of the Notification Tray, where you can just double click on the icon to accomplish the same thing.

Thanks,

I could not see any icon indicating it was running. I forgot to check the items in the Notification Tray.
