Even if you have set a regular schedule for your Backup or Sync, you can manually run the backup or synchronization at any time.

To Manually Run a Backup or Sync

  1. From your Start menu or your system tray, open File Backup.
  2. In the Backups and Syncs list, click the Actions menu button (represented by the down arrow icon) for the backup or sync you want to run.
  3. In the Actions menu, click Run.

File Backup checks the backup or sync and compares it to the folder(s) on your computer and/or Online File Folder, and performs the specified actions.
