It should be possible to trigger the backup jobs manually.
Please add a button for this in the gui or at least via cli.

We have Feature request in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1594
I'll implement it as soon I get the time for doing so.

I filed another feature request which is somewhat connected to this one.
"Allow overwriting number of max backups per instance in backup jobs"

I've had a talk with the Team, it's technical impossible to implement this atm.
But you have a Backup button on each node/vm.

4real? Please think of a way how to solve this.
The backup button does not solve this if one has a lot instances.
The button could, e.g. change the execution time for the job temporarily so it runs again. Right after it then changes the cron time back.
Or the button allows selection of existing jobs which it then executes.
I can think of some other approaches.
I mean, the system runs those jobs at the configured time. So why is it impossible to work with that?
"Technically impossible" for this seems weird. The jobs are schedule based, so please explain to us why it's technically impossible?
Please don't just drop this.
If the current vzdump code does not allow such thing it might need refactoring. :-/
