Backup jobs

Create and maintain scheduled VM backup jobs.

Before you begin

• Admin or Superadmin access to the project.
• VMs you want to protect are listed in the project.

Steps

1. Open Backup → Jobs.
2. Click Create job or edit an existing job.
3. Select VMs, weekdays, time window, and retention.
4. Enable the job and Save.
5. Check the warning list for VMs without a backup job.

Watch out

The default project backup job limit is 1. A backup job does not replace restore testing.
