Perform manual backups
A manual backup is user-initiated and is based on a policy. For example, you can use a manual backup to prepare for the upcoming events that are outside scheduled backups, such as system maintenance.
In some cases, it may be useful to create a policy and schedule that is used only for manual backups. Create a policy for manual backups by creating a policy with a single schedule that has no backup window. Without a backup window, the policy can never run automatically.
To perform a manual backup
- On the left, select Protection > Policies.
- Select the policy name and click Manual backup.
To perform a manual backup, you must enable the Go into effect at attribute for the policy. If the this attribute is set for a future date and time, the backup does not run.
- Choose from the following options:
To back up all the clients and the default schedules for the selected policies, click Backup all.
To select specific clients and the schedule for each policy, click Specify.
- Follow the prompts to continue.
