Use Manual Configuration to selectively protect specific Power Apps environments. This method provides granular control over storage regions and backup profiles for individual resources.
Prerequisites
The Power Apps prerequisite must be complete and the environment scan must be finished.
The target environments must appear in the All Environments list with a status of Not Configured.
Step 1: Initialize Configuration
Navigate to Power Apps > All Environments.
Select the checkbox for one or more environments.
Click Configure for Backup.
Step 2: Define Backup Settings
Complete the following fields in the configuration pane:
Setting | Requirement |
Environments to Backup | Shows the environments you selected. |
Storage Region | Select an Azure region defined during initial setup.
Immutable: Storage once assigned cannot be changed. Azure only is in scope.
|
Backup Profile | Select an existing Power Apps profile or create a new one. |
The pane shows a summary of the selected profile:
Backup Profile Name (link to the profile)
Backup Frequency (default: Once a Day)
Retention (default: 7D, 4W, 12M)
Data Lock (default: Disabled)
Step 3: Save and Verify
Click Save.
A confirmation appears: Successfully configured backup of selected Environment.
State Change: The environment status transitions from Not Configured to Configured.
Verification: In the Configured Environments tab, the environment appears with the assigned profile (for example, PowerApps Default Profile). Last Backup Status is Never until the first backup completes.
Triggering an On-Demand (Manual) Backup
Once an environment is configured, you can trigger a backup immediately without waiting for the scheduled window.
Go to the Configured Environments tab.
Select the target environment.
Click Backup Now.
Monitoring: Druva creates a new backup job. Monitor progress on Microsoft Power Platform > Jobs, on the Power Apps sub-tab.
Summary: Manual configuration is a three-step process: Select (from All Environments), Define (Storage and Profile), and Save. Once configured, you can use Backup Now for immediate protection.
