  2. From the Backup Manager window, select the Database-Level objects you want to back up (Microsoft SharePoint 2010 - Database level). If you want to back up only certain components in the farm, expand the farm and select the components.
  3. Right-click the Farm object you are including in this job and select Agent Option to select a backup method to use and click OK.

    Note: Always perform a full backup when running the agent for the first time so that you can store a complete set of SharePoint Server databases.

  6. Click Submit on the toolbar.

    The Security and Agent Information dialog opens.

  8. Click OK.

    The Submit Job dialog opens.

  9. From the Submit Job dialog, select Run Now to run the job immediately, or select Run On and select a future date and time when you want the job to run.
