If you want to run the new backup immediately, click Run backup now.
This option is not available if you configured an independent recovery point
with the option to run it only once.
22 Click Finish.
The One Time Backup feature lets you quickly define and run a backup that creates
an independent recovery point. You use the One Time Backup Wizard to define
the backup. The backup runs when you complete the Wizard. The backup definition
is not saved for future use. You can use the independent recovery point later.
This feature is useful when you need to back up your computer or a particular
drive quickly before a significant event. For example, you can run a one-time
backup before you install new software. Or, you can run it when you learn about
a new computer security threat.
