With the Backup settings (backup) parameter it is possible to define the automatic ZMS database backup method. The automatic backup can be enabled and then the base time for the first backup can be determined, also the interval between all subsequent backup processes can be defined. Additionally, the number of stored database backup copies can be set. Alternatively, it is possible to create scripts to handle the backup tasks.

Backups are stored in the /var/lib/zms/backup directory of the ZMS host. The name of the backup file is zms-backup-<timestamp>.tar.gz
