Performing a manual backup

HYCU for Azure backs up your data automatically after you assign a policy to the selected virtual machine. However, you can also back up your data manually at any time (for example, for testing purposes or if an automatic backup fails).

Consideration

When the assigned policy uses a backup window, manual backups may prevent the scheduled backup for the virtual machine from starting within the defined time frame. If this happens, the virtual machine becomes non-compliant with the policy settings until the next backup window or the next manual backup.

Procedure

1. In the Virtual Machines panel, select the virtual machines that you want to back up.

2. Click  Backup to perform the backup of the selected virtual machines.

3. Click Yes to confirm that you want the manual backup to start.
