# Perform Job Action

Perform various actions on a backup job.

Available actions:

* `Start` - Start any job type.
* `Sync` - Start a backup copy job (backup copy jobs only).
* `Stop` - Stop any running job.
* `Retry` - Retry any failed job.
* `Toggle Schedule` - Enable/disable job scheduling.

All operations run asynchronously and return a task ID for tracking progress.
