Failure management25

REL09-BP03Configure backups to be taken automatically based on a periodic schedule informed by the Recovery Point Objective (RPO), or by changes in the dataset. Critical datasets with low data loss requirements need to be backed up automatically on a frequent basis, whereas less critical data where some loss is acceptable can be backed up less frequently.4
