Disabling a report allows you to prevent the report from running without deleting the report. A disabled report is not executed, but it remains in the _Reports_ list for you to enable at any time. You can disable a report by using the *Disable* option in the _Actions_ menu, or you can disable one or more reports simultaneously using the *Disable Selected* button on the _Reports_ screen.

To find a specific report, use the _Search_ bar or the _Advanced Filter_ option. For more information about using the Reports list, see [ServerBackup:Customize the Reports list].
