2.4 Basic operations
This section describes typical usage of the backup service.
2.4.1 Logging in to the service
You can log in to the backup service under the following conditions:

A system administrator has enabled use of the service for your organization.

[For non-administrative users] Your organization administrator has enabled use of the service for
your account.
To log in to the backup service
1. Go to the login page of the backup service. The URL of the login page looks like:
https://backup.example.com/org/
If you are unsure about the address of the login page, contact the system administrator or the
organization administrator.
2. Type the user name and password of your vCloud Director account.
3. Click Log in.
2.4.2 Backing up virtual machines
The virtual machines that you can back up are listed on the organization tab.
The vApps list shows all vApps that you own. The All virtual machines list shows all virtual machines
from those vApps. (An organization administrator sees all vApps and virtual machines in the
organization.)
Starting a backup
Select one or more virtual machines that you want to back up, and then click Back up now.
If you want backups to run on a schedule, apply a backup plan (p. 44) instead.
Monitoring a backup
A backup may start with a delay, depending on the backup service load.
