# Backup
This interface allows the operator to securely backup data using Manual (local server/system) and Automatic (local/remote system) modes.
When you first open the backup screen, the Manual mode is automatically selected. You can choose which items to back up, such as Application-related data and Certificate manager database-related information, by checking the appropriate boxes. Additionally, you can specify where you want to save the backup file. Once you have made your selections, click on the "Confirm" button to proceed. You will then be redirected to the user authentication page, where you will need to enter your username and token pin to proceed with the backup process.
In Automatic mode, the user can set the frequency of their backup schedule.
In the first dropdown list, the operator can choose from
* Daily – every day at the time chosen in the second dropdown list.
* Weekly – every week at the time chosen in the second dropdown list.
* Monthly – every 30 days at 12 AM.
Users can specify the backup location and authenticate using their username and token pin. This will allow the backup to be performed successfully.
