Scheduling with the Backup and Migrate Drupal Module

One of the first things you should do once you get started with Drupal 8 is install the Backup and Migrate module. After you create your first backup, you should schedule automatic backups just in case anything goes wrong (for example, the Archive_Tar vulnerability reported in December, 2019) or need to update Drupal core.

1. Click Configuration at the top.
2. Under Development, click Backup and Migrate.
3. Click Schedules.
