# Creating Backups

1. Add a backup policy name.
2. Select your storage bucket, or create a new one. Provide your access key and secret key for that bucket.
3. You can select the maximum number of backups/retention copies (number of backups retained before the oldest backup is deleted).
4. Configure the **Backup Schedule** using the time and frequency fields. You can add multiple backup schedules after deployment, via the 'View Database' page. Common examples:
   1. **Every 30 minutes:** Minute: 30, leave others empty
   2. **Daily at 2:30 AM:** Minute: 30, Hour: 2, leave others empty
   3. **Weekly backup on Sunday at 3:00 AM:** Minute: 0, Hour: 3, Weekday: Sunday
   4. **Monthly on 1st at midnight:** Minute: 0, Hour: 0, Day: 1
