• Choose backup policy: the default is daily but you can customise your own
  – Frequency
  – time to run
  – Retention period

You can also run a manual backup by clicking on Backup Now from the backups dashboard.

Backup Jobs

To view the status of backup job go to VM -> Backup -> Backup Jobs

Form here you can see a list of your backups with the details and their status (In progress, completed, failed etc…)

Restoring a Backup

Once you have some completed backups of your VM, they will appear as “Restore Points” from the “Backup” screen.

If you click on the 3 dots in the restore point row you get 2 options:

1. Restore VM
   – Restores the whole VM
   – allows you to create new VM or replace existing
2. File Recovery
   – this allows you to select certain files to recover from your backup
