Run a Backup and DR Workflow

Backup and DR Workflows can be configured to run according to a schedule or run on demand only. Scheduled Backup and DR Workflows can be run on demand.

Running a Backup and DR Workflow on demand is particularly useful when the Backup and DR Workflow's data source has been updated but the Backup and DR Workflow is not scheduled to run for a while. The Backup and DR Workflow can be run on demand to provision or re-provision an environment without having to wait for the next scheduled run of the Backup and DR Workflow.

Note: Management console users assigned with Workflow Refresh rights but not with Workflow Run or Workflow Manage rights, can only refresh the existing virtual application and cannot run, edit, delete, or disable a Backup and DR Workflow.

To run a Backup and DR Workflow, follow these steps:

1. Click the App Manager tab and select Workflows from the drop-down menu. The Workflows page opens.
2. Right-click the workflow that you want to run and select Run Now from the drop-down menu. The Run Workflow dashboard page opens.

3. Depending on your Backup and DR Workflow type, see the following topics for more information:
