+= Disabling the node agent in DataProtectionApplication
+
+If you are not using `Restic`, `Kopia`, or `DataMover` for your backups, you can disable the `nodeAgent` field in the `DataProtectionApplication` custom resource (CR). Before you disable `nodeAgent`, ensure the {oadp-short} Operator is idle and not running any backups.
+
+.Procedure
+
+. To disable the `nodeAgent`, set the `enable` flag to `false`. See the following example:
++
+.Example `DataProtectionApplication` CR
+[source, yaml]
+----
+# ...
+configuration:
+  nodeAgent:
+    enable: false  # <1>
+    uploaderType: kopia
+# ...
+----
+<1> Disables the node agent.
+
+. To enable the `nodeAgent`, set the `enable` flag to `true`. See the following example:
++
+.Example `DataProtectionApplication` CR
+[source, yaml]
+----
+# ...
+configuration:
+  nodeAgent:
+    enable: true  # <1>
+    uploaderType: kopia
+# ...
+----
+<1> Enables the node agent.
+
+You can set up a job to enable and disable the `nodeAgent` field in the `DataProtectionApplication` CR. For more information, see "Running tasks in pods using jobs".
