(Optional) Perform a Manual Backup

Typically, based on the schedule settings you applied, the backups perform automatically. In addition to the scheduled backup, a manual backup provides you the option to back up your nodes on a need basis. For example, if you have a repeat schedule for Full and Incremental backups, and you want to make major changes to your machine, you can perform an immediate manual backup without waiting for the next scheduled backup. You can submit the backup job from both, Console and proxy user interface. Using the Job Monitor, you can view the job status and cancel the ongoing job.
