  2. In the Resources page, select Resource Group from the View list.

  3. Enter the resource group name in the search box, or click filter icon, and select the tag.

    Click filter icon to close the filter pane.

  4. In the Resource Group page, select the resource group to back up.

  5. In the Backup page, perform the following steps:

    1. If you have multiple policies associated with the resource group, select the backup policy you want to use from the Policy drop-down list.

      If the policy selected for the on-demand backup is associated with a backup schedule, the on-demand backups will be retained based on the retention settings specified for the schedule type.

    2. Select Backup.

  6. Monitor the progress by selecting Monitor > Jobs.
