Backup Now

Overview

This guide will help you initiate backups manually for one or more users — without scheduling them for automated backups.

Navigate to Admin Panel > Users

From the Users list, the Admin can manually trigger backups at any time.
This is useful for:

On-demand backups before a system update or migration.

Testing the backup setup.

Backing up specific users immediately.

Follow these steps to create manual backups for one or more users from users list.

Users to backup: Shows selected usernames.

Select Backup Server: Choose the backup destination (e.g., Local, Remote).

Backup Method: Choose between Compressed or Incremental.

Backup Type: Define the scope (e.g., Full Backup).

Notes (Optional): Add any remarks for the backup job (e.g., Before upgrade).

4. Click the “Backup Now” button from Popup form to begin the backup process immediately.

5. A success message will appear, and you can track the progress in the Admin Panel > Tasks page.

Note : Each manual backup will be listed in the restore/download section once completed.
