Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

Starting a manual backup

Use the following procedure to start a manual backup. Before you perform this task, manually refresh your Web browser to obtain an updated view of all policies.

The OpsCenter console may take some time to show the updated status once you perform this task.

Note:

This task is not visible if you log on with an Analyst or a Reporter role.

To start a manual backup

  1. In the OpsCenter console, select Monitor > Policies.
  2. Select a policy from the table. You can select only one policy and it must be an active policy.
  3. Click Manual Backup. Note that this option is located on top of the table.
  4. You can select a schedule and a client from the drop-down lists for the backup, or only select a schedule or a client.

    If you do not select a schedule, NetBackup uses the schedule with the highest retention level.

    If you do not select a client, NetBackup backs up all scheduled clients.
