# Enable backup

A good safeguard policy is the key to a resilient infrastructure. Hardware failure, human error or attack: With a well configured backup solution, you make sure you can quickly restore data and maintain activity without interruption.

The activation of a backup can be done by post or through shared profiles. This allows you to define precisely what needs to be protected.
