(Optional) Run the Assured Recovery Test Job Manually

In Arcserve UDP all plans, including Assured Recovery jobs, are performed automatically and are controlled by the schedule settings. For Assured Recovery jobs, besides the scheduled run, Arcserve UDP lets you perform manual test of nodes and plans for Assured Recovery Test. This topic provides separate procedures to perform a manual Assured Recovery Test of node and plan.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Console, click the resources tab.
2. From the left pane, navigate to Nodes, and click All Nodes.
3. Nodes are displayed in the center pane.
3. Select the nodes that you want to backup and that has a plan assigned to it.
4. On the center pane, click Actions, Backup Now.
5. The Run a backup now dialog opens.
5. Select a backup type and optionally provide a name for the backup job.
6. Click OK.
7. The backup job runs.

Note: You can also perform manual backup from a plan. Right-click on a plan and select Backup Now from the options. In this case, the backup is performed for all the virtual machines available under the Nutanix AHV cluster.
