  2. On the Backup and Restore page, click Backup Now.
  3. Select one of the following options:

    • To use the general settings that are applied to all backup files, select Use Backup Directory Path and Encryption Password from Settings and Details .

    • To use custom settings:

      1. In the Backup Directory Path box, type a path name where the backup file will be saved. Use one of these formats:

        • NFS – host:/share/

        • CIFS – \\host\share\

      2. Optionally, type a username and password in the Backup Directory User Name and Backup Directory Password boxes, if they are required to access the location you typed in the earlier task.
      3. In the Encryption Password box, type a password that is required to open the backup file, and verify the encryption password by typing the password in the Confirm Encryption Password box.
        • NOTE: The password can include any alphanumeric characters such as !@#$%*
