Manually initiate backup jobs on demand for enhanced control over your data protection.

You can start a backup job on any connector, except if it already has a job in progress.

Please note that when you manually initiate a backup job, the next automatic job will be scheduled 12 hours from the initiation of the manual job, not from the initiation of the previous automatic backup job.

To manually start a backup job:

1. Navigate to the Connectors page.
2. Hover over the connector you want to back up and select ••• > Start backup.
3. Click Start backup.
   The backup job will be scheduled and start shortly. 

Note: Manually starting a backup initiates an incremental backup, capturing only the changes made since the last backup. A full initial backup is performed only once—automatically triggered after a connector is created and its configuration is saved.
