Backups & restore points · When backups run

How do I run a backup right now?

Short answer: Click Back up now on the set's card. It starts immediately regardless of the set's mode or conditions, which only hold automatic runs. The button turns into Stop while it runs.

Click Back up now on the backup set's card. It starts straight away, whatever the set's mode or conditions — plugged-in, hotspot and working-hours rules only hold the automatic runs.

It's a good habit before a risky change, such as reorganising a project or updating an app that converts its files. While it runs, the button becomes Stop.
