If you need to save a backup without waiting for the next automatic backup, or ensure that the network folder for storing backups is configured correctly and is accessible, you can create a manual backup. During the backup process, the operation of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components are temporarily suspended to ensure data consistency.
To create a backup manually,
On the administrator host, run the following command:
./kdt invoke backup-operator -a createBackup --param backup_retain=<max_number_of_backups>
where <max_number_of_backups> is the maximum number of backups that can be stored in a network folder. The default value is 10. If the network folder already contains the maximum number of backups, the next backup will overwrite the oldest one. If you reduce the parameter value (for example, set <max_number_of_backups> to 3 when creating a backup manually or when configuring a backup schedule), KDT will delete all backups except the three most recent ones.
The created backup copy is saved to the configured network folder. KDT logs provide detailed information about the results of the backup operation, including its success or failure, the date and time of execution, and the name and location of the backup copy.
