For more information on the ckpdb operation, see the Ingres Database Administrator Guide and the Ingres Command Reference Guide.
5. Click Activities in the left pane of the Backup Console.
The Activities page, under Current Activities, shows the backup being transferred to the cloud. 
Note: After the checkpoint operation is completed, a delay of about thirty seconds occurs before the agent uploads the backup.
A backup consists of a checkpoint file plus associated journal and dump files, if any.
When the transfer is complete, the Status shows Completed under Recent Activities.
6. Click Backups in the left pane, and then expand the backup to see the details.
The details for the backup are shown, which indicate that the checkpoint now resides in the cloud.
For each database, the service retains fourteen backups; if you take a fifteenth backup, the service deletes the earliest one.
