Starting Jobs

-
Go to the Dashboard, select the job from the list of jobs, and click Run Job.
-
Choose one of the following options:
-
Run for all VMs/backups/physical machines/items: The job will run for all VMs/backups/physical machines/ items.

If the type of the Backup Repository for your job is Incremental with full backups, you will have to choose between the following backup types:
-
Incremental: Your job will create an incremental backup.
-
Full: Your job will create a full backup. If you choose this option, please choose the full backup mode:
-
Synthetic full: The application will first perform an incremental backup – that is, will transfer only the VM data that changed since the last backup, – and will then transform the available data into a full backup.
-
Active full: Will read all source VM data and transfer it to the backup repository.
