Create On-Demand Backup

In addition to performing backups by adding virtual machines to a backup job, you can create an on-demand backup for a virtual machine.

You cannot create backups for a virtual machine, if it uses ZHPS distributed storage.
Shared disks or RDM disks attached to the virtual machine will not be included in the backup.

In the navigation pane, choose Inventory > VM and Host.
In the left navigation tree, right-click a virtual machine, then select Backup > Create Backup.
In the Create Backup dialog, enter a backup name, select the backup type, specify the local backup storage, and choose whether to synchronize to remote backup storage.
Review the configuration and click OK.

After you successfully created the backup, you can go to the Protected Resources page to view the backup data for that virtual machine.
