You can create a backup immediately without having to wait for the next scheduled backup.
Create a backup when making major changes to your service instance, for example, in these situations:
-
Before any configuration changes that you may need to undo
-
Before deploying an application
-
After deploying an application
Note:
Do not to attempt to start the administration server while a backup is in progress.
