Cancel jobs	Cancel jobs by using the Backup or Restore CR. Add the following line to the CR specification to cancel jobs that are in queue or running state. `spec: jobControl: cancel` If you cancel during backup, the volume snapshots get removed as a part of cleanup. If you issue a cancel during restore, the cleanup happens only when you choose a new or an existing namespace. Note: When you cancel a restore job to the original namespace, cleanup does not happen and can result in a corrupt application after the cancellation completes.

You can scale out the number of transaction manager pods to process more jobs at the same time. For example, run the following command to increase the number of agent pods to two:

oc scale deployments/transaction-manager --replicas=2 -n ibm-backup-restore

To the scale out from the OpenShift® Container Platform console, do the following steps:

Change the project to the Backup & Restore install namespace. The default is ibm-backup-restore.
Search and select the transaction-manager deployment.
Click the scale up or down to increase or decrease the scale. It takes about 30 seconds for a replica to start in optimal conditions. Do not click multiple times instead wait for each pod to get to ready status.
