Execute a Manual Backup
In addition to performing on demand backups in preparation for a disaster recovery, you may wish to execute a manual backup under the following circumstances:
•Power outage - If there is a power outage at your facility and your system uses a backup battery, you might want to back up data before the battery fails.
•Rolling blackout - If your facility is subjected to rolling blackouts, and a blackout is scheduled during the time of your daily backup, you should back up your data before the blackout period, when the ER Server will be down.
•Expiration about to occur - If a data expiration is about to occur, you might want to back up your data before losing the oldest data on the ER Server, prior to the daily backup process.
WARNING: If corrupted data is detected on the ER Server, do not backup your data, as you may back up and eventually restore a corrupted database.
