You can configure the Unified Manager database backup settings to set the database backup path, retention count, and backup schedules. You can enable daily or weekly scheduled backups. By default, scheduled backups are disabled.
It is recommended that you use a remote location that is external to the Unified Manager host system.
More time is required the first time a backup is performed than for subsequent backups because the first backup is a full backup. A full backup can be over 1 GB and can take three to four hours. Subsequent backups are incremental and require less time.
