I recommend one of these options below:
1) Change the backup button to allow the type to be picked as shown in the screenshot below. This would be my preference because I'm always manually creating backups of various types. If you do this, you can remove "Backup" from the Actions button since it would be redundant.
2) Keep the backup button how it is now, but allow a new "Next Scheduled" type when setting the default behavior for the button. If you keep a default backup button, can you also add hover text on the button to show what type of backup is going to be run when clicked? I can never remember what type I set it to.

FWIW, Acronis has a "Backup Now" button that always manually runs the next scheduled backup.
