(Optional) Manually Executing a Backup Job

Updated on 2024-10-25 GMT+08:00

For a created backup plan, a backup job can be executed automatically based on a backup policy, or you can manually execute a backup job.

Prerequisites

The available storage capacity of the repository is sufficient for the backup plan to execute backup jobs.

Context

Backup jobs can be executed in either of the following ways:

  • Automatic:

    A backup job is automatically executed based on a backup policy.

  • Manual:

    A backup job is manually enabled by a user and is executed based on a backup policy.

When a backup job is manually executed, the eBackup management system supports full backup and incremental backup. You can select a backup type based on your needs and available storage resources. Table 1 describes backup types.

Table 1 Backup types

Backup Type

Description

Configuration Suggestion

Full backup

A full backup backs up all the data of a selected backup object, regardless of when the data was modified or backed up the last time. By default, the system initially executes a full backup based on a backup policy. You can manually trigger full backups as needed. Full backup provides the most complete backup protection; however, full backup takes a long time and occupies a large space.

If you have a high demand on data security but not on the restoration period and storage space, you can select full backup.

If the system has not executed any backup job before, you can only select full backup. If the system has performed backup jobs before, you can select full backup or incremental backup.

Incremental backup

An incremental backup backs up all data that has been changed since the last full backup or incremental backup. The amount of data backed up each time is small, and the backup time is short.

By default, the system initially executes a full backup based on a backup policy. During the backup, if the system detects that the previous backup is unavailable, the system implements full backup.

You can adopt full backup + incremental backup if you have high requirements for backup time and have sufficient storage resources.

Procedure

  1. On the navigation bar, choose > Backup Plan.
  2. Manually execute backup using either of the following methods:

    Figure 1 Manually executing backup
    • Move the mouse pointer to a backup plan where you want to execute backup and click in the function pane.
    • Click the backup plan and click in the preview area on the right.
    NOTE:

    If there is an ongoing backup job of the same protected object in the backup plan, the system adds a backup job and set it to the Pending state.

    • If backup jobs have been executed based on the backup plan before, the system automatically performs an incremental backup after you click .
    • If no backup jobs have not been executed based on the backup plan, the system automatically performs a full backup after you click .
    • At any time after a backup plan is created, you can click Full Backup, and the system will perform full backup based on the backup job manually triggered.

    The Info dialog box is displayed.

  3. Click Yes.
