   Note: On selecting 'Online Backup', the data will be stored on the IDrive cloud whereas on selecting 'Local Backup' the data will be stored in the local drive.

5. Select the virtual machine(s) from the list, which appears, and specify the temporary local backup path for local backup.
6. Click 'Schedule'.
   
7. The 'Scheduler' appears where you can either schedule the backup for any future day and time or perform an immediate backup of the selected virtual machines.
