What is the principle of snapshots backup?

In the case of a running server, a snapshot is created first and then backed up. From the very principle of backup, however, it is not possible to fully guarantee the consistency of data in running applications (typically in case of writing to the database during snapshot creation). The solution is therefore to back up databases, etc. at the application level or to have the system "idle" at the time of the start of the backup, ideally having the services turned off or in read-only mode.

You can use Application Backup on WebApps servers by turning on the automatic backup plan.

If you have set up your individual backup inside the server, such as a dump database, we recommend that you schedule the backup so that the internal backup runs before the automatic backup starts. The start time (CET) is specified in the user interface.
