Manual Job Launch

In this article

    Even if you have specified scheduling settings for a job, you can still start it manually at any moment.

    When you start a job manually, Veeam Backup & Replication starts a regular job session that produces a new restore point in the backup chain in the backup repository. You can start the job manually if you need to capture VM data at a specific point in time and do not want to re-configure scheduling settings in the job. For example, you can start the job to create a VM backup before you install new software on a VM or enable a new feature.

    To start and stop jobs configured on the backup server, you can use the Start and Stop buttons on the ribbon or corresponding commands in the shortcut menu.
