Create Backup Server Point
Backup Server Point is a full or partial backup of your server data at a specific point in time. Creating and managing Backup Server Points is extremely important to ensure that your data is always safe and can be restored when needed.
Backup Center provides you with two flexible ways to create Backup Server Points:
Create Backup Server Point according to Backup Policy
Create Backup Server Point manually by executing "Backup Now"
Create Backup Server Point automatically according to Backup Policy
Create Backup Plan (Backup Server): If you don't have one, you need to create a new Backup Server to set up backup rules.
Create Backup Policy: In Backup Server, you create and associate a Backup Policy to meet different backup needs. For example, the Policy is set up as follows:
Launch time 16:00
Backup frequency is every 4 hours , the system will create a backup.
The gap between 2 Full Backups will be 4 Incremental Backups.
The system keeps the 2 most recent Full Backups.
The system will automatically perform: The system will automatically create Backup Server Point according to the set schedule as follows:
At 16:00 of the first launch, the system will create a backup server point (Full version) .
The next 4 hours at 20:00, 00:00, 04:00 and 08:00 (next day) will create a backup server point (Incremental version).
In the next 4 hours at 12:00, the system will create a backup server point (Full version).
Every 4 hours, the system will create server point backups (Incremental versions) until there are 4 Incremental versions, then the next time will be the server point backup (Full version).
After creating 3 backup server points (Full version), the system will delete the first backup server point (Full version), and the next 4 consecutive backup server points (Incremental version).
Create Backup Server Point manually by executing "Backup Now"
The Backup Now feature allows you to perform an immediate data backup session by clicking a "Backup Now" button for the Backup Server or Server you select. Often, users may need to perform a periodic backup, but sometimes it is also necessary to perform an immediate backup session to protect important data at that time.
Benefits of Instant Data Backup:
Flexibility and Urgency: Instant data backup allows you to perform a backup whenever you feel the need, instead of having to wait for a scheduled backup. This is useful in an emergency situation or when you want to protect your data immediately before a potential incident.
Protect Important Data in the Short Term: If you only need to back up a small section or a specific project, backing up immediately will help you protect the important data you've just worked on.
Fast Recovery: When you need to recover data, you'll have the most recent backup.

Find and click "Backup Now" as shown below.
Note:
If the selected Server is not linked to any Backup Server, the system will automatically create a Backup Server with default Backup Policy and Backup Location, and link to this Server, then proceed to create the corresponding server backup point.
