Running a backup policy manually

To run a backup policy manually

  2. Select the schedule that you want to use and click OK.

    This starts the manual backup with the policy.

  3. To verify the status of the backup, go to Activity Monitor.
  4. Select the appropriate job from the displayed jobs and click on the Detailed status tab in the new window to check on the status of the backup.
  5. Once the above backup job is complete, a new duplication job is automatically triggered.
  6. Click on that job and then select detailed status to check the status of the duplication job.
