schedule by configuring the backup information such as the database or table, backup
frequency, storage method, and backup duration.

- In the Edit Backup Objects step, find the database or table that you want to back up in the Available section.
Click the right arrow to add the selected database or table to the Selected section. Then, click Next.

backed up.

Lifecycle section.
Note If you select Enable for the Real-Time Transaction Log Backup parameter, you must configure the backup time for incremental backup data.
