+= About disabling node agent in the DataProtectionApplication
+include::_attributes/common-attributes.adoc[]
+
+If you are not using `Restic`, `Kopia`, or `DataMover` for your backups, you can consider disabling the `nodeAgent` in the `DataProtectionApplication` as shown in the following example. Make sure the {oadp-short} Operator is idle and not running any backups, before you disable the `nodeAgent`.
+
+[source, yaml]
+----
+# ...
+configuration:
+  nodeAgent:
+    enable: false  # <1>
+    uploaderType: kopia
+# ...
+----
+<1> Disable node agent.
+
+To enable the `nodeAgent`, set the `enable` flag to `true` as shown in the following example:
+
+[source, yaml]
+----
+# ...
+configuration:
+  nodeAgent:
+    enable: true  # <1>
+    uploaderType: kopia
+# ...
+----
+<1> Enable node agent.
+
+You can set up a job to enable and disable the `nodeAgent` in the `DataProtectionApplication`.
