Backups can be made automatic with Scheduled Jobs, which you can find at the bottom of the left-side tree structure in M-Files Admin. Backups are saved on the hard drive or a network drive, from which they can be transferred to, for instance, a tape drive. If necessary, backups can be restored with M-Files Admin (see Restore Document Vault).
The jobs also include other scheduled tasks, such as the database optimization. The operation performs, for example, database search index maintenance ensuring that document vault access remains fast regardless of the amount of changes made to the data.
