There are three known reasons the plan may end with message 'Application is being canceled by the user':
- The administrator clicks the 'end' link while the plan is running in Archive Manager to cancel the plan.
- A remote desktop session is started that connects to the protected computer. The backup account is used to log onto the remote desktop session. The plan's scheduled task runs. The user logs off the remote desktop session while the scheduled task is running. This series of steps causes the processes running under the backup account to end, including the backup processes. We recommend setting up a backup service account to ensure this behavior does not occur. Using a service account with DATASTOR
