Triggering backup tasks

In this article, you will learn how to trigger a backup task in GitProtect.

Triggering backup tasks

GitProtect allows you to run backup tasks manually. You don’t need to wait for the scheduler to start the backup—you can initiate it yourself at any time if needed.

In all relevant DevOps dashboard views (not a list view), simply click the Start now button to run a backup task manually.

Alternatively, you can open the Plans tab to see a list of all backup plans and trigger a backup task directly from there using the start button.

Choosing a copy type

If, during the backup plan creation, you chose to protect your data using the basic schedule type, you can select whether a full or incremental copy will be performed when the backup task is triggered.
