Performing manual backups

R‑Cloud backs up your data automatically after you assign a policy to the selected entities. However, you can also back up your data manually at any time, for example, for testing purposes or if an automatic backup fails.

Prerequisite

A policy other than the exclude policy must be assigned to the entity.

Consideration

When the assigned policy uses a backup window, manual backups may prevent the scheduled backup from starting within the defined time frame. This may result in data not being protected until the next backup window or the next manual backup.

Procedure

1. In the SaaS, Applications, Instances, or Buckets panel, select which entities you want to back up.

2. Click  Backup to perform the backup of the selected entities.

3. Click Yes to confirm that you want to start the manual backup.
