Performing Configuration Backup Automatically

While performing configuration backup, Veeam Backup for Google Cloud exports data from the configuration database and saves it to a backup file in a backup repository. To instruct Veeam Backup for Google Cloud to back up the configuration database of the backup appliance automatically by schedule, do the following:

1. Switch to the Configuration page.
2. Navigate to General > Configuration Backup.
3. In the Backup schedule section, set the Enable scheduling toggle to On.
4. Click Choose in the Repository field, and use the list of available repositories in the Choose Repository window to select a repository where configuration backups will be stored.

For a backup repository to be displayed in the list of available repositories, it must be added to Veeam Backup for Google Cloud as described in section Adding Backup Repositories. The list shows only backup repositories of the Standard and Nearline storage classes that have encryption enabled.

5. In the Keep restore points for field, specify the number of days for which you want to keep restore points in the selected backup repository.
6. In the Create daily backup at field, choose whether configuration backups will be created every day, on weekdays (Monday through Friday), or on specific days.
7. Click Save.
