Time

Specify the backup execution time according to the selected Cron Time. For example, If you select Day, the backup will run once every day at the specified time.

TTL (Time To Live)

Specify the duration for which the backup will be retained before it is automatically deleted by the system. The TTL value is measured in hours. For example, a TTL of 5 means the backup will be stored for 5 hours.

After the Submit button is clicked, the system will display the notification “Backup has been successfully created” to indicate that the backup schedule has been successfully created.
