Thanks!

That I know, “Enable read-only mode while taking a backup”. But It will be automatically enabled during the update. I was asking for a manual mode.

You can manually enable it too, just go to Admin \> Backup \> Enable read-only

Sorry with this bump, but I need to know if it possible set “read only mode” without backup.

Right now, I need to freeze all my members… how can I achieve that?

The above sets the site to readonly mode without taking a backup.

Excuse me, but in `/admin/site_settings/category/backups` I’ve got:

> `readonly mode during backup`

I do not have other “read only mode”. ☹

That’s not the place @tgxworld sent you to. Go to `/admin/backups` , then click this button:
