Configure a Default Recurring Backup Schedule

To make backup schedules across your devices consistent, use this setting to configure your own default recurring backup schedule. When you schedule a backup for a particular device, you can use the default settings or change them. Changing the default recurring backup schedule does not change any existing scheduled backups or recurring backup schedules.

Procedure

1

In the Security Cloud Control platform menu, choose Products > Firewall.
2

In the left pane, click Administration > General Settings.
3

In the Tenant Settings area, find the Default Recurring Backup Schedule section, and in Frequency field select daily, weekly, or monthly backup.
4

Select the time of day, in 24-hour time, you want the backup to occur. Note that you schedule the time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

  • For weekly backups: Check the days of the week on which you want the backup to occur.

  • For monthly backups: Click in the Days of Month field and add whichever days of the month you want to the schedule the backup. Note: If you enter day 31 but a month doesn't have 31 days in it, the backup will not take place. Give the scheduled backup time a name and a description.

5

Click Save.
