# Backups

In the Backups > Backups section, currently-configured Backups can be viewed and managed, and new Instance, Host and Provider backups be configured. Backups must be tied to a Backup Job, which holds the retention count and the schedule on which the backup should automatically be run. You can create a new Job at the same time as the backup is created or you can create the job ahead of time and associate any new backups to the existing job.

NOTE

Role permissions for Backups determine which backups will be accessible to the individual user.
