terminating CF will do nothing. If the process is indeed going to take a
week to complete (hard to imagine - but still) you can just stop the server
using the server manager.
If you are worried about the data, you will need to backup/restore the
database, otherwise I doubt anything will be untoward.
maybe tell us what te process was doing exactly
