Normally to start a backup manually, you would go to the web page, select the 
target host either from the drop-down list or the host summary, and click the 
'start full' or 'start incremental' buttons.

On the host summary page you can see how long it has been since the last 
backup. 
  If it is longer that the schedule (default is daily), it will automatically 
start a backup unless you are in the configured blackout interval.   If hosts 
are not regularly available on the network outside of the blackout interval 
they 
will be backed up during the blackout.  The best way to control the timing of 
the runs is to set the blackout for the times you don't want backups to run so 
it has some leeway for concurrency.  If you start a backup manually, the next 
one will start approximately 24 hours later, so once you get started with the 
right timing it will stay that way as long as things complete on schedule.
