# Scheduling Instance Backups in B2C Commerce

Schedule instance backups.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-cc-b2c_merchandiser_administrator-264-0-0-production-enus/ea76f372-6cfa-42a6-8e7c-05c6df7abed8/images/icon_note.png)

Note The instance backup is only available for staging instances. To backup a production or development instance, use the job framework and setup a backup in a production or development instance.

1. In Business Manager click App Launcher ![App Launcher](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-cc-b2c_merchandiser_administrator-264-0-0-production-enus/ea76f372-6cfa-42a6-8e7c-05c6df7abed8/cc/b2c_merchandiser_administrator/images/appLauncher.png), and then select **Administration > Site Development > Site Import & Export**.
2. Click **Scheduled Backups.**
3. On the Instance Backup Configurations page, click **New** or select an existing job.
4. On the Edit (or New) Backup Configuration page, enter the relevant information and click **Apply**.
    
    <table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small "><tbody><tr class=""><td style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d33983e71-option" id="d33983e75">Configuration Name</td><td style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d33983e71-desc d33983e75">Name of the backup configuration</td></tr><tr class=""><td style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d33983e71-option" id="d33983e84">Enabled</td><td style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d33983e71-desc d33983e84">Indicates whether backup configuration is enabled</td></tr><tr class=""><td style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d33983e71-option" id="d33983e93">Job Settings</td><td style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d33983e71-desc d33983e93">Max backups to keep (1, 3, or 5)</td></tr><tr class=""><td style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d33983e71-option" id="d33983e102">Job Schedule</td><td style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d33983e71-desc d33983e102">When to start, at what time, and how frequently</td></tr></tbody></table>
5. Select the data to include in the backup. Be as granular or as inclusive as you want.
6. Click **Apply**.

If a staging instance export or backup fails for any reason, Salesforce B2C Commerce still generates a .zip file, but appends the suffix "-invalid" to the filename. Salesforce recommends that you establish a mechanism to detect if an invalid file is produced.
