## Description

Aborts a pending or in-progress JetBackup restore. It does not undo what has already been written — the account is left part-restored.

## Path parameters

- `restore` — string (required)

## Body

- `input` — string (required). A domain, email address, website URL, or Inleed service id — for example example.se, info@example.se or 42976. Resolved to the owning account automatically, and the resolved target is echoed back in the response. Up to 255 characters.
- `restore_id` — string (required). The restore to stop, from restore_backup → restoreId or get_restore_status → restores[].id (24 hex characters).
