# Schedule Automatic Backups in Backup & Recover for Salesforce

Specify the time to run Salesforce automatic backups, such as during off-peak hours, to minimize the impact on system performance.

1. Under the Options menu, select **General**.
2. Select the time you want the daily backup to begin.
3. Select the day you want the full backup to run.

Data Classification: Select whether the service contains production data.

Note Changes to Daylight Savings Time trigger a backup, and could create two backups for that day. The latter of the backups will eventually be deleted, to maintain a backup per day.
