# Namespaces - Bulk Actions
From the Backup & Recovery's Namespace page, identify the listed namespaces for which you wish to perform an action.
Select some by clicking the corresponding selector checkboxes in the first column. Use the table header row checkbox to select/deselect all listed namespaces.
Alternatively, click Unselect all to cancel your selections.
Click the Bulk Actions button on the top right of the main UI window.
From the menu displayed, select Create Backup.
From the CREATE NEW BACKUP wizard displayed, check if any existing backup plans are available, either under Last Successful Backup or under Based on Namespace properties. Optionally, you can place a check in the Show explicit backupplans for the selected items checkbox. This results in the existing backup plan list showing only backup plans for selected items. For example, if a user has selected NS1 and NS2, then backup plans containing NS1 and NS2 only will be shown. Otherwise, backup plans containing either NS1, NS2 or both together will be shown. If you see an existing backup plan that suits, skip to step 8.
If no existing plan is suitable, select Create New and follow the instructions in .
Select either an existing backup plan identified in Step 6, or a new backup plan created in Step 7. If you just created one, it may take some time before it becomes active and is able to be selected. You can expand any listed backup plan to see more details about its configuration.
Select Continue.
In the window displayed, type a meaningful name for your new backup.
Then click Create Backup.
