Here you can run a manual backup by clicking on Manual Backup.

The list shows you the currently stored backups and allows you to download or delete them from the server, they are spilt into 3 groups:

Automatic Daily Backups - If Automatic backups are enabled, this is where you can manage the daily backup.

Pre-Upgrade Backups - Before upgrade work is carried out, Deskpro will make a backup of your instance that can be used to restore from if there are any problems with the update.

Manual Backups - This list contains all the backups generated by clicking the "Manual Backup" button.

In the instance backups you also have the options to download a backup as a .zip file or remove it with the waste bin Icon.
