Can I safely kill vdump?

Sceduled backups with vdump have been delayed as a mounted system had crashed while I was away for 2 weeks. Now there are 5 simultaneous vdumps running very slowly. The full system backup usually takes a whole weekend.

Can I safely kill these? (I will have to live without a backup untill next weekend).

We are in a clinical environment running Digital UNIX.

Thanks, Nickt.
