This guide will describe how to perform a one time backup as needed.

Note: Backups are CPU and I/O intensive processes. Backups can require an extensive amount of time to complete on heavily loaded systems.

Internet Explorer (IE) can time out before the backup is complete. If IE does time out, you will not see the on-screen completion notification. If you wish to see the on-screen completion notification, use the Firefox browser instead of IE. The administrator receives email notification of the backup completion.

Instructions

After logging into the administrative console:

  1. Click ADMIN

  2. Click BACKUPS

  3. Click One Time Backup

 

Configure the following options:

• From - Enter the year, month and day to start backup. The backup includes everything from 00:00 (12 AM) that day.

Note: You can manually enter the year. However, you must select the Month and Day of Month from the pop-up menus.

• To - Enter the year, month and day to stop backup. The backup captures everything up to and including 23:59 and 59 seconds of that day.

• Backup Name (optional) - Enter a descriptive name for the backup.

2 Click Run Backup. The backup runs in the background and the appliance displays “Backup complete” when finished.
