Step 7: Starting a Backup

For a one-time backup, click the button Immediate Start: Backup (menu bar -> Activities -> Immediate start -> Backup). Then select a backup task or task group and a media pool (default settings apply), and click Start.

To configure a normal, periodic backup, you have to create a schedule which implements the desired recurrence of the backup. Then you have to create a new backup event by using this schedule. The backup is now inserted into the event calendar and will be initialized by the SEPuler at the specified time. For details, see Standard Backup Procedure.

When the backup is finished, its execution and completion can be verified in the Main selection -> Scheduling -> Calendar Sheet or Main selection -> Job state -> Backups. This saveset also appears in the restore wizard. It can also be accessed from the command line under backups > Status.
