Configure scheduled backup

When scheduled backup data is stored on the local server (locally stored on the node), the maximum storage size allowed is limited by the total capacity (10 GB) and the maximum replicas together. The total capacity is the total size of saved backup files and the current backup file.

· When the total capacity of the backup files does not exceed 10 GB, but the number of files exceeds the maximum replicas, the server will delete the oldest backup files.

· When the total capacity of the backup files exceeds 10 GB, but the number of files does not exceed the maximum replicas, the backup will fail. You need to manually delete unnecessary backup files and then back up again.

When the scheduled backup data is stored on a remote server, the system will not check the capacity of the remote server. Insufficient capacity will cause backup failure.

On the top navigation bar, click System.

From the left navigation pane, select System Maintenance > System Tools.

Click System Backup.

Click the Backup Policy tab.
