Can you stop a Time Machine BackUp ?

[fab5freddy]

I started to do a Time Machine BackUp just an hour ago,
but i won't have time to backup the entire 250 GB,

So, is it possible to stop the Time Machine Backup and finish it later ?

Thanks!

If you unmount (eject) the backup drive, then backup resumes where it left off after remount. I don't know if issuing a Stop has the same effect. The overhead is so small that the only reason to suspend the backup is to disconnect a laptop anyway, so you might as well just unmount.
