Manually backing up Enterprise Vault resources

Enterprise Vault backups can run automatically if you specify a time period within an Enterprise Vault backup policy. However, there are instances when you want to start a backup manually based on an existing Enterprise Vault backup policy. You can initiate a manual Enterprise Vault backup from the NetBackup Administration Console.

See “To run an Enterprise Vault backup manually”.

Note:

User-directed backups are not supported.
