Manually backing up your disk

116
Once you protect a disk, it is automatically backed up at regular intervals (unless
you chose Not Scheduled from the Recurrence list when you completed the
schedule). You can also back up a disk manually as long as a backup or recovery is
not currently occurring. For example, if you're about to install a new application, you
might want to back up your disk right before you do that so that if any problems
occur, you can recover your disk to the state it was in immediately before you
installed the application.
To manually back up a disk:
1. Click Status.
2. In the Protected disk list, select the disk that you want to back up.
3. Click Back Up Now.
The Current activity area displays information about what's happening, the
percentage of the backup that has completed, and the speed at which the data
is being sent over the network. The Progress bar graphically indicates how
much of the backup is complete.
To stop a backup in progress, click Stop Current Activity.
