Step 7: Starting a Backup

For a one-time backup click the button Immediate Start: Backup in the main toolbar. Then choose a task and a media pool(default settings apply) so the task can be initialized.

To configure a normal, periodic backup first select the desired recurrence of the backup. Next, create a new event using the scheduler. The backup is now inserted into the event calendar and will be initialized by the SEPuler at the specified time.

When the backup is finished its execution and completion can be verified in GUI->Scheduling->Calender Sheet' or GUI->Backups->Status. This saveset also appears in the restore wizard. It can also be accessed from the command line under backups > Status.
