Schedule CDO Backups

You can use the scheduler on the Cisco Defense Orchestrator to automate both CDO and device backups. Note that not all devices support remote backups. For more information, see Backup/Restore.

You can use the scheduler on the Cisco Defense Orchestrator to automate its own backups. You cannot schedule a device backup from the CDO.

Note	As a part of initial configuration, the system schedules a weekly task to perform a locally stored configuration-only CDO backup. If the task scheduling fails we recommend you schedule a recurring task to perform a backup as described in this topic.

Before you begin

Create a backup profile that specifies your backup preferences.

You must be in the global domain to perform this task.
