Running an existing backup job immediately
If you have a backup job already defined, you can use Run Backup Now to make a recovery point immediately. This feature is sometimes useful if you are about to install a software program. Or, maybe you have modified a large number of files and you do not want to wait for a regularly scheduled backup.
You can run an existing backup job at any time.
