Creating a Backup Job

A backup job ties together a database, a storage destination, and a schedule.

Before you start

You’ll need:

From the Jobs page, click New Job and fill in:

Field	Description
Job name	A label to identify this job.
Type	`Backup` for regular database backups.
Schedule	How often the job runs — see Schedules.
Agent	Which agent runs this job.
DB Connection	Which database to back up.
Storage	Where to store the resulting backup.

Click Create Job. The job is now active and will run automatically according to its schedule.

Status	Meaning
Active	The job is enabled and will run on schedule.
Disabled	The job won’t run until re-enabled.

You can toggle a job between active and disabled at any time from the Jobs page.
