fRun backup now

Starts backup on a destination that is waiting for its next scheduled backup. Once initiated, backup will continue until it's complete, even if it extends beyond the scheduled end time. This option is unavailable outside of your backup schedule.

(Version 6.8.2 and earlier): If a backup is currently in progress, the option to Run backup now is replaced by the Pause option. Click Pause to pause the current backup for 24 hours.
