Backup

Ensure Zmanda Pro is installed on the client machine and the protected item is properly configured, as described in the previous section.

There are two ways to initiate a backup:

1. Client-triggered backup

2. Server-triggered backup

Once the protected item is configured, click on “Backup” to backup the configured protected item.

1.2 Monitor Backup Progress

Once the backup is initiated, you can monitor its progress directly in the job logs. Watch for any warnings or errors during the backup process.

2. Server-triggered Backup

2.1 Navigate to Server Web UI

Navigate to the Web UI with appropriate URL and enter the tenant-admin credentials to login to the server.

2.2 Navigate to Protected Item

Click on the "Devices" tab to access the Devices page, then choose the user linked to the device. Next, click on "Protected Items" to go to the Protected Items page, and then click "Backup" to back up the corresponding protected item.
