# Namespaces - Actions The Backup & Recovery's **Namespace** page is primarily an informational page, presenting the user with a complete overview of everything related to their namespaces. However, there are some actions that the user can take, which are detailed in the following sections of this page. There are four actions that may be executed for a single namespace: * [#actions-create-backup](#actions-create-backup "mention") * [#actions-view-backup-and-restore-summary](#actions-view-backup-and-restore-summary "mention") * [#actions-view-namespace-details](#actions-view-namespace-details "mention") * [#actions-view-target-summary](#actions-view-target-summary "mention") ## Actions - Create Backup From the Backup & Recovery's **Namespace** page: 1. Identify the listed namespace for which you wish to perform an action.\ ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/TrewSrS6CmLdahLrZUjj/blobs/iQAHQCRtx5kKv1bhZQdA/backup-applications-actions-2.png) 2. Click the corresponding **Actions** button on the right side of the main UI window. 3. From the menu displayed, select **Create Backup**. 4. Optionally, from the window displayed, 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.\ ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/TrewSrS6CmLdahLrZUjj/blobs/9Y6EjOQNpgTXFbb4acMD/backup-singlens-1.png) 5. Check if any existing backup plans are available. If you see an existing backup plan that suits, select it and skip to step 7. 6. If no existing plan is suitable, select **Create New** and follow the instructions in [#backup-plan-single-namespace](https://docs.trilio.io/kubernetes/4.0.x/getting-started/using-trilio/getting-started-with-management-console/navigating-intro/backupplans/create-backup-plans#backup-plan-single-namespace "mention"). Note that if you create a new backup plan, it may take some time before it becomes active and is able to be selected. Once the new backup plan becomes available, select it and proceed. 7. Select **Continue**. 8. In the window displayed, type a meaningful name for your new backup and use the toggle switch to choose between **Full** backup and **Incremental** backup.\ ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/TrewSrS6CmLdahLrZUjj/blobs/ULgerjUspXKv9PFNvMof/backup-singlens-8.png) 9. Then click **Create Backup**. 10. Once the backup is complete, the **STATUS LOG** window displays, detailing the status of the backup and if there were any errors.\ ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/TrewSrS6CmLdahLrZUjj/blobs/RhGr2IyqWIJu5CTAl7XA/backup-recovery-namespaces-9.png) ## Actions - **View Backup & Restore summary** From the Backup & Recovery's **Namespace** page: 1. Identify the listed namespace for which you wish to perform an action.\ ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/TrewSrS6CmLdahLrZUjj/blobs/iQAHQCRtx5kKv1bhZQdA/backup-applications-actions-2.png) 2.
