Once you’ve created any backup rules and schedule policies you want, you can use them to create a backup.

1. From the home page, select the Backup the cluster you want to back up:

   

2. Select the namespaces and apply label selectors to filter the resources you want to back up:

   

   NOTE:

   • To back up all namespaces, choose Select All
   • To back up all namespaces and the namespaces created after you created this backup, choose Select All and then select Include any new namespaces created
     

3. Select the Backup button:

   

4. From the dialog box, specify the following:

   • Backup name: the name of the backup you want displayed in the PX-Backup UI
   • Backup location: which bucket you want to store your backups onto
   • Now or On a schedule: run the backup immediately or choose a schedule policy to associate with this backup
   • Pre-exec rule: any rules you want to execute before the backup runs
   • Post-exec rule: any rules you want to execute after the backup runs
   • Backup labels: any labels you want to attach to the backup once it’s created

   

Once you’ve created your backup, you can monitor its status.
