====== Automated Backup ======

Starting from Lucy 4.6 has been added the ability to create and configure automatic backups. The administrator can configure automatic backups that are stored in local directory **/opt/phishing/files/db-backups**

The Automated Backup Settings is available under the Settings menu:

  - Database - creates an SQL dump of the whole Lucy database;
  - Files - creates an archived copy of the folder “/opt/phishing/files” that contain campaigns data, templates and etc. (it is recommended to use with Database);
  - Rainloop - creates an archived copy of settings and all folders of the Mail Manager;
  - Config - creates an archived copy of Lucy's configuration files (web server, mail server and etc.); 
  - Code - creates an archived copy of Lucy's source code and executables.

  * **Backup Frequency**

The frequency of running the backup tasks can be set to various intervals:

  - Daily
  - Weekly
  - Monthly
  - Yearly

  * **Backup Time**

You can choose a convenient time to run the backup task. Depending on the components selected for backup, the task may take a long time, so we recommend that you schedule the time when the server load is minimal (usually at night).


  * **Backup Days**

Specify the days when the backup task should be run. 
Days of week or month: 1-7 for weekly, 1-31 for monthly. Days of the year: 1-12 (month numbers); 1-31 (days of the month) for yearly. 

  * Example for weekly: 1,3,5,7
  * Example for monthly: 1, 15, 25
  * Example for yearly: 1,3,5,7;1,15
