Backup details

On the Create Backup screen, the "Backup Name" field must be completed in order to submit the form to create a backup. A unique backup name will automatically generate in the name field. You can adjust the provided name but it must be unique. If a backup with the same name exists, you will not be able to save the backup.

Once you have completed the name field, select Save to create the backup.
