Select the Activate this backup task checkbox and specify the following:
1. When and how often to run the backup.
2. A prefix that should be added to the backup file name.

NOTE: Up to 3 GB of backups may be stored on our servers at any given time. Accounts using in excess of 2 GB for backup storage will have their ability to schedule further backups temporarily suspended.

Backups can always be created and downloaded to your computer or other local storage without restriction.
