# How to Run Manual Backup

Data should be backed up automatically on schedule as per the schedule setting.

At times, you may wish to immediately start a backup job, or back up to a different Storage Vault. You can back up any Protected Item to any Storage Vault by following these steps:

1. Click on a Protected Item, and click the 'Backup Now' button
2. Step through the wizard to select a destination Storage Vault
3. The backup job will start within the main window interface
