If you have not yet set up a schedule for your backups, or wish to modify your existing backup schedule, click the Manage link in the Overview section next to Backup schedule.

Once that has completed, you’ll see your new manual backup in the list of Available Backups. The modal will close and you’ll see a progress bar indicating at which step the backup is currently at. If you do not want to apply those exclusions, you can adjust that under the main Settings tab. Note that the option to Apply global file exclusions set in settings page is checked by default. Optionally enter a title for your manual backup, and apply global file exclusions if needed. Any following backups will be incremental, regardless of whether they are manual or scheduled. This first backup will be the base backup and is a full backup of your site. Click the Backup Now button to get started. The first time you visit the Backups tab, you’ll be greeted with a prompt to run a backup now if you haven’t already. Please see the Restoring Backups chapter below for details on how to restore your Snapshot backups.
