Create Backup under Local Backup Archives

Hi. I selected "Create Backup" under the Local Backup Archives menu item. The system responded that a backup was scheduled.

Does that option launch the backup script immediately or is it postponed to a later time?

Thanks

It starts right away, but those can take some time to complete

We are running 5.4.4. Is the script backup_xi.sh?

Thanks.

I don't see that the script is launched. Does the "Create Backup" option only launch if local backups are enabled?
