Backup feature is only available for Dedicated Instances. This feature is not

Periodic Backups

Full Backup every week
Incremental Backups every 4 hours
You can trigger the Backup on-demand directly from your Dgraph Cloud Dashboard,

In case you would like to change your default Backup schedule please contact us
and we will be happy to set you up.
