(Optional) Run the Virtual Standby to EC2 Task Manually
To manually run a virtual standby job, you have to first perform a manual backup. The virtual standby to EC2 task is associated with a backup task. If a plan includes a backup task and a virtual standby to EC2 task, then when you manually run the backup job, the virtual standby job runs automatically after the completion of the backup job.
Follow these steps:
- Click the resources tab.
- From the left pane, navigate to Nodes, and click All Nodes.
- If you have added any plans, these plans will be displayed in the center pane.
- Select the nodes that you want to backup and that has a plan assigned to it.
- On the center pane, click Actions, Backup Now.
- The Run a backup now dialog opens.
- Select the backup type and provide a name for the backup job.
- Click OK.
- The backup job runs.
- The virtual standby to EC2 job runs immediately after the backup job is over.
The virtual standby to EC2 job is manually run.
