Backup plans overview

In this article, you will find general information about creating and managing backup plans in Xopero ONE.

Backup plans overview

To run any task in Xopero ONE, you first need to configure a backup plan. All existing backup plans are available in the Plans tab, located on the left side of the Xopero ONE Management Service (XMS) application.

In this tab, you can manage all backup plans, with all types of protected resources displayed in a list. Backup plans can be managed in two ways:

1. By selecting plans with the checkbox on the left – you can run, deactivate, or remove them.

2. By using the action icons on the right – you can run, edit, or view details of a specific plan.

Backup plans creation

It is worth noting that the backup form is generally consistent across all resource types. The main difference lies in how the data to be backed up is selected. Once you choose the specific data—such as a GitHub organization or Windows user documents—the remaining sections of the form are almost identical.

The idea behind creating a backup plan is to follow a few simple steps:

1. Decide what type of resources you want to protect.

2. Select the specific data to be included in the backup plan.

3. Choose an existing storage or add a new one.

4. Configure the Scheduler and Retention sections to automate the process.

5. (Optional) Adjust advanced settings.
