Performing manual backups

HYCU for Google Cloud backs up your data automatically after you assign a policy to the selected instances, applications, or buckets. However, you can also back up your data manually at any time, for example, for testing purposes or if an automatic backup fails.

Prerequisite

A policy other than the exclude policy is assigned to the instance, the application, or the bucket.

Consideration

When the assigned policy uses a backup window, manual backups may prevent the scheduled backup from starting within the defined time frame. This may result in data not being protected until the next backup window or the next manual backup.

Procedure

1. In the Instances, Applications, or Buckets panel, select which instances, applications, or buckets you want to back up.

2. Click  Backup to perform the backup of the selected instances, applications, or buckets.

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