You don’t need to wait for a job’s scheduled time to run it. From the Jobs page, click the Run now button next to any job.

When to use this

  • To confirm a newly created job is configured correctly
  • Before making a risky change to a database
  • To get an up-to-date backup without waiting for the next scheduled run

Checking the result

After triggering a manual run, check the Backup History page to see whether it succeeded. A manual run shows up alongside scheduled runs, with the same status and error details if something went wrong.
Running a job manually doesn’t change its schedule — the next scheduled run still happens at its normal time.
