# Trigger a backup manually
|
|
|
|
|

|
You can manually trigger a backup run outside of the defined cron schedule by executing the `backup` command inside the container:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
|
|
|
docker exec <container_ref> backup
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the container is configured to run multiple schedules, you can source the respective conf file before invoking the command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
|
|
|
docker exec <container_ref> /bin/sh -c 'set -a; source /etc/dockervolumebackup/conf.d/myconf.env; set +a && backup'
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
