Manually backup assets

Apart from the scheduled backups performed by the policies, you can perform ad hoc, manual backups for a policy as required.

To perform a manual backup:

  1. On the left, click Policies. All the policies that you have the privilege to view are displayed in the Policies tab.
  2. Click the ellipsis menu (three dots) in the row of the policy for which you want to perform backup. Click Manual backup.

    Alternatively, select the option in the row of the policy, and click Manual backup, at the top of the table.

  3. In the Manual backup dialog, select the schedule that you want to use for the backup. You can see the schedules defined in the policy.
  4. Select one or more clients you want to back up. If you do not select any, all clients are backed up.
  5. Click OK to start the backup.
