About Backup Now
With Backup Now, workload administrators can back up an asset immediately. For example, you can use Backup Now to prepare for the upcoming events that are outside scheduled backups, such as system maintenance. This type of backup is independent of scheduled backups and does not affect future backups. You can manage and monitor a Backup Now job in the same way you manage and monitor other NetBackup jobs. Note that Backup Now jobs cannot be restarted.
Backup Now is supported for the following workloads:
Cassandra
Cloud and PaaS
NetBackup supports homogenous cloud asset subscriptions. While you subscribe an asset to a protection plan, the cloud provider of the asset must be the same as the cloud provider defined in the protection plan.
Kubernetes
Microsoft SQL
MySQL
Nutanix AHV
PostgreSQL
RHV
VMware
Note:
To use Backup Now you must have subscribe permissions for at least one protection plan. You can select only one asset at a time for each Backup Now operation.
You can start Backup Now for an asset from the list of assets. For example, from the list of virtual machines, intelligent groups, or databases. Or, you can start Backup Now from the asset's details. These details display all of the protection plans to which the asset is subscribed. You can choose from any one of these protection plans.
To immediately back up an asset using Backup Now
- On the left, select the workload and locate the asset that you want to back up.
- Select Actions > Backup now
- Choose a protection plan for the backup.
All protection plans to which the asset is subscribed are listed.
To back up an asset that is not subscribed to any protection plan, select Backup now and choose from the existing protection plans. You can also create a new protection plan and then use it with a Backup now operation.
Note:
The option of Backup type is only available for Microsoft SQL Server assets. You can select the type of backup you want to perform using the drop-down. The drop-down only contains the backup types that are available in the protection plan.
- Click Start backup.
