In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), select the folder containing the schedule. 1. Navigate to **Compute Cloud**. 1. In the left-hand panel, select ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/picture.svg) **Snapshots**. 1. Navigate to the **Snapshot schedules** tab. 1. Next to the schedule you want to disable, click ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/ellipsis.svg) and select **Stop**. 1. Confirm disabling the schedule. - CLI {#cli} If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../../cli/quickstart.md#install). The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id ` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions. 1. See the description of the CLI commands for managing schedules: ```bash yc compute snapshot-schedule --help yc compute snapshot-schedule disable --help ``` 1. Get a list of schedules in the default folder: ```bash yc compute snapshot-schedule list --format yaml ``` Result: ```text - id: fc852cvb1ipd5******** folder_id: e1ea8s8l71li******** created_at: "2022-09-28T13:25:02Z" name: sched-1 status: ACTIVE schedule_policy: start_at: "2022-10-01T00:00:00Z" expression: 59 14 */1 * * snapshot_spec: {} - id: fc89n1j15l7f******** folder_id: e1ea8s8l71li******** created_at: "2022-09-27T16:04:13Z" name: sched-2 status: ACTIVE schedule_policy: start_at: "1970-01-01T00:00:00Z" expression: 0 */1 * * * retention_period: 3600s snapshot_spec: {} - id: fc8bplhqmh2b******** folder_id: b8gauskl78li******** created_at: "2022-10-03T13:28:01Z" name: sched-3 description: Daily labels: machine: file-server status: ACTIVE schedule_policy: start_at: "2022-12-31T19:04:05Z" expression: 10 19 ? * * snapshot_count: "7" snapshot_spec: {} ``` 1.

Disable the snapshot schedule using the [disable](../../api-ref/SnapshotSchedule/disable.md) REST API method for the `SnapshotSchedule` resource or the [SnapshotScheduleService/Disable](../../api-ref/grpc/SnapshotSchedule/disable.md) gRPC API call. {% endlist %} The schedule [status](../../concepts/snapshot-schedule.md#statuses) will change to `INACTIVE`: disk snapshots will not be created or deleted.
