Initiate immediate backups
You can trigger an immediate backup of protected node, regardless of when the next backup is scheduled. You can
restore from a backup at any time.
To initiate a backup:
1. Log on to the HA’s onQ Portal.
2. Go to DASHBOARD tab > PROTECTED NODES page.
4. In the Backup Status column, click the carat icon for the protected node that you want to back up.
5. When prompted, click Start.
• The carat changes to green and moves left to right until the backup completes.
• After completion, the carat moves to its upright position and the new backup timestamp posts. In addition, the snapshot is saved to the repository, and you can
retrieve it at any time.
