Click Stop.
What will happen if I stop the task?
Generally, stopping the task aborts its operation (backup, recovery, validation,
exporting, conversion, migration). The task enters the Stopping state first, then
becomes Idle. The task schedule, if created, remains valid. To complete the
operation you will have to run the task over again.

recovery task (from the disk backup)
its space unallocated – the same result you will get if the recovery is
unsuccessful. To recover the "lost" volume, you will have to run the task
once again.

recovery task (from the file backup): The aborted operation may cause
changes in the destination folder. Some files may be recovered, but some
not, depending on the period when you stopped the task. To recover all the
files, you will have to run the task once again.
Click Edit.
Why can't I edit the task?

Task belongs to a backup plan
Only tasks that do not belong to a backup plan, such as a recovery task, can
be modified by direct editing. When you need to modify a task belonging to
a local backup plan, edit the backup plan. A task belonging to a centralized
backup plan can be modified by editing the centralized policy that spawned
the plan. Only the management server administrator can do this.

Do not have the appropriate privilege
Without Administrator privileges on the machine, a user cannot modify
tasks owned by other users
