Performing a manual backup with an NDMP policy
Only a NetBackup administrator can initiate an NDMP backup. The following procedure explains how the NetBackup administrator can perform the backup manually from the NetBackup Administration Console.
For more information on the NetBackup Administration Console, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
To perform a manual backup with an NDMP policy
- From the NetBackup Administration Console, click Policies.
- Right-click the NDMP policy name and select Manual Backup from the pop-up menu.
- In the Manual Backup dialog, select a schedule and then select the clients (NDMP hosts) that you want to back up.
If you do not select any schedules, NetBackup uses the schedule with the highest retention level. If you do not select any clients, NetBackup backs up all configured NDMP hosts.
- Click OK to start the backup.
