We have to diable Backup Jobs for Updates and reboots.

 

There is a risk of letting the jobs diabled after reboot!

 

It would be great to disable the Jobs in the GUI for some time only!

 

With API calls we have to diable MFA for this account what can bring a security risk!

Hi ​@ralf.walter 
correct place to request a new feature is Veeam Forums

@ralf.walter - the Veeam Product Managers will be able to give you a valid roadmap response on whether they feel your request is something most customers would want added. They keep track of requests over on the Forums as Antonio suggested.

You can also try adding it to the Ideas board on the community here - https://community.veeam.com/ideas

@ralf.walter As Chirs said, you can use the Ideas, I did it weeks ago and the PMs moritore it very well.

 

Reagarding your question, I see the feature you asked as a nice request, as a work arroud, to facilitate your management, you could use a power shell to disable/enable the job using the folowing command.
Disable-VBRJob -Job (Get-VBRJob -Name "v100")
I’m not good with PS yet, but you can search how to make a simple script to disable many jobs.

or if someone here in the Community could code a very simple script for you, My lab is not working anymore. If it were, I would test the PowerShell command for you.
