# Running a Job Manually

> Trigger a backup job immediately, outside its schedule.

You don't need to wait for a job's scheduled time to run it. From the [Jobs page](https://app.savemydb.com/jobs), 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](https://app.savemydb.com/backups) to see whether it succeeded. A manual run shows up alongside scheduled runs, with the same status and error details if something went wrong.

<Tip>
  Running a job manually doesn't change its schedule — the next scheduled run still happens at its normal time.
