It is likely that an automated backup is already set up but if not then this can be done by clicking Create Task to schedule this in Windows Task Scheduler. An ad-hoc backup can be made using the Create Backup button, particulary useful if you are making changes you may want to undo.

It is always recommended to take a backup before restoring any previous backups.

If you need to restore settings and SQL backups, click Restore Backup.
