Before you begin

Backup capability, free storage and an appropriate destination.

Use the controls offered by your installed version and account permissions. This guide describes the workflow; it does not grant additional access.

Follow the steps

  1. Choose full, files or database scope in Backups.
  2. Create a manual backup and inspect its result.
  3. Set schedule frequency, time, timezone, destination and retention when needed.
  4. Review notification preferences and save.
  5. Confirm a later scheduled run and privately stored artifact.

Check the result

The job completes and its backup exists at the intended destination.

If something goes wrong

A schedule is not a verified backup. Same-server copies do not protect against total server loss.
