Creating and deleting backups manually

You can initiate an instant backup job for a single volume by creating a backup manually. Such a backup does not have a retention policy and can only be deleted manually. Note that when you delete a backup, all dependent backups in the backup chain are also deleted.

To manually create a volume backup

• On the Volumes screen, click a volume that you want to back up.

• On the volume right pane, click Create backup now.

Once the backup is created, it will appear on the Recovery points screen.

To manually delete a volume backup

• On the Recovery points screen, click the recovery point that you want to delete.

• Click Delete in the confirmation window.

After deleting a recovery point, all its data will be lost.
