After you've defined a source and a destination, backups can be created. To learn more about what happens during a backup, read this page on the backup process.
##Automatically creating backups
The most common way to do this is by hourly scheduling the backup-server:dispatch-backups command like shown in the installation instructions. The backup process for a source will start when the current hour matches the value in the backup_hour for that source.
##Manually creating a backup
You can manually create a backup by executing this command.
php artisan backup-server:backup <name-of-source>
