Back up your system with this procedure only if you use third-party software for backups.

1. If the Oracle Backup Manager scheduler is running, wait for the backup to occur.
   The scheduler, which starts automatically when Prinergy starts, runs each night at 11 p.m. to determine the backup requirements and to schedule the backup to start at the time you specified.
2. If you want to trigger a backup immediately, perform the following steps:
   
   1. Open a command-prompt window, type ORACLEBACKUPMANAGER, and press Enter.
      The Araxi_OracleMgr> prompt appears.
   2. Type BACKUP DATABASE and press Enter.
