How Do I Run an On-Demand Backup?

Within a backup's action menu you can trigger an on-demand backup run.

Required User Roles: Only Global Admins or Backup Admins have permissions to run on-demand backups.

To run an on-demand backup: 

1. Navigate to the account and connector for the backup in question. Each backup listed within a connector has an action menu at the right-side of the backup list, which is represented by an ellipsis Action Menu - Ellipse

 

2. For the backup you want to run, click the ellipse to open the action menu and select the 'Back up' option Backup Action Menu - Backup.

 

3. A confirmation modal will appear, click 'Continue' to start the on-demand backup.

MultiPerson Approval (MPA): If MPA is enabled on the account then the required approvers need to approve running of an on-demand backup before the system will proceed with the requested status change. 

MultiFactor Authentication (MFA): If MFA is enabled on the user then the system will require the user to confirm running of an on-demand backup via the MFA tool that was used with SaaSAssure. 

 

4. A notification will appear letting you know the backup process has started.
