# Performing Backup

You can back up your data to protect files and directories on your machine. To back up your data, you must configure a backup job. Veeam Agent for IBM AIX lets you configure several backup jobs targeted at the same or different backup repositories.

You can configure backup jobs that will automatically back up your data by the defined schedule. You can also start backup jobs manually at any time.
