Description

My server config was not good enough to accomodate the backup of a 100GB Nextcloud.
But even restarting the server, some backup files keep popping up.
I would love to be able to have an abort function that stops all the background jobs.
Thanks.

Research direction

No files, tests, or command entry point are named. Start by tracing how backup background jobs are scheduled and exposed through commands, then determine how an abort operation should stop active and queued work. Done means the command's behavior and failure cases are defined and covered by tests.
