How to Perform a Backup

Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) lets you perform frequent backups (as frequently as every 15 minutes), reducing the size of each incremental backup (as well as the backup window) and providing a more up-to-date backup.

Before you perform your first backup, review the backup prerequisites and considerations and then configure or modify the backup settings which are applied to each backup job. A backup job can be initiated either automatically based upon your schedule settings (Scheduled), or manually as an immediate or ad-hoc backup (Backup Now).
