About Backup Now
With Backup Now, workload administrators can back up an asset immediately. For example, you may use Backup Now to prepare for upcoming events that are outside scheduled backups, such as system maintenance. This type of backup is independent of scheduled backups and does not affect future backups. You can manage and monitor a Backup Now job in the same way you manage and monitor other NetBackup jobs.
NetBackup supports homogenous cloud asset subscriptions. While subscribing an asset to a protection plan, the cloud provider of the asset must be the same as the cloud provider defined in the protection plan.
Backup Now is supported for the following workloads:
VMware
RHV
Cloud
Microsoft SQL
Cloud
Nutanix AHV
Note:
You can select only one asset at a time for each Backup Now operation. Also, you must have permissions to subscribe to least one protection plan to use Backup Now.
To use Backup Now from the web UI
- Select the workload from the left.
- Select the asset that you want to back up.
- Click Backup now at the top of the table or select Backup now from the action menu in the asset's row.
- Choose a protection plan for the backup.
All protection plans to which the asset is subscribed are listed.
If you want to back up an asset that is not subscribed to any protection plan, you can select Backup now and choose from existing protection plans. You can also create a new protection plan and then use it with a Backup now operation.
- Start the backup.
To use Backup Now from an asset's Details page
- When you view an asset's details, you can see all of the protection plans to which the asset is subscribed. You can choose Backup now from any one of the protection plans that are listed.
If you want to back up an asset that is not subscribed to any protection plan, you can select Backup now and choose from existing protection plans. You can also create a new protection plan and then use it with a Backup now operation.
