Backup & Restore start backup manually?

[Gilgamesh_48 1240]

This is probably answered elsewhere but my old brain does not seem to have the ability to find in by searching, sorry.

I, from time to time, would like to force a backup to happen. Is there any way to do that?

I want to test some parts of the restore functionality but I need a fresh backup for what i want to do.

Thanks for any ideas or even a link to where it might be explained in a way this old guy can understand at least mostly.

Do you have the Backup & Restore plugin installed? 

When you want a manual backup, just run the scheduled task.

Thank you! For some reason my old slow brain did not even think about "Scheduled tasks" in this case. I know it should have occurred to me but this old brain sometimes just ignores the obvious.

Again, THANKS!!

Oh, I did not see @GrimReaperpost before I wrote this. Thank you very much too.
