Manual Backups

Backups in Warehouse can be performed manually if you do not wish to put them on a schedule.

To perform backups manually:

  1. Select the task you wish to edit.
  2. In the Schedule pane select the Manual item in the popup menu. This is the default value for new tasks.
  3. When you are ready to backup press the Backup button in the lower right hand corner of the window or use the Backup Now command in the File menu.

If any errors occur during the backup a warning window will appear with the list of errors which prevented the backup from completing successfully.

To cancel backups:

  1. When a backup is running a spinning progress wheel will appear next to its title in the task browser. If you select the task the wheel will become a cancel button which you can use to cancel the backup.
