# Back Up Data on Demand

Initiate a manual backup at any time instead of relying only on scheduled operations. This capability allows you to protect your data immediately before performing system maintenance or after a failed automated run. Run on-demand backups up to three times a day to provide an extra layer of security for critical data before planned updates.

**Where:** This change applies to Lightning Experience.

**Who:** To use this feature, users need the Run Backup permission.

**How:** To start a manual backup, from the Backup and Recover Next app, click the Backups tab, and then click Back Up Now.
