Running the next scheduled backup job before its scheduled time
You can run the next scheduled backup job in a backup definition at any time. You may want to run a scheduled backup job early to ensure that important data gets backed up or to make sure that a scheduled job completes successfully. Running a scheduled backup job early does not affect its regular schedule. The job still runs normally as scheduled.
To run the next scheduled backup job

On the Backup and Restore tab, do one of the following:
-
To run the next scheduled backup for a single server's backup jobs, right-click the server name.

Click Yes to confirm that you want to run the job or jobs now.
