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 Appliance’s onQ Portal.

2.	Go to DASHBOARD tab > PROTECTED NODES page.

3.	Unlock the 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.
