   - If a backup task is being executed for a resource in the vault, the policy can be removed normally. However, the backup task will continue and backups will be generated.
   - After a policy is removed, backups retained by time will expire based on the retention rule, but backups retained by quantity will not be automatically deleted. You can manually delete unwanted backups.
4. Click Yes. The vault will no longer execute tasks as specified in this policy.
