Yes, you can configure the password for your Library Backup files and select how often a Library Backup will be automatically generated.

 

Permissions Required: General Administration, Level 2 (Full Access) permission, included only in the Administrator Role, is required to configure the frequency or password for Backups.

To Change the Frequency of Your Scheduled Backups

On your Backups page, click the gear icon:

Automatic Backups can be scheduled to take place once a month, once a week, or never (if your team will only use the manual “Backup Now” functionality).
