Sets how often an automatic system backup is performed.
The interval defaults to 3600 seconds (1 hour).
This command determines how often automatic system backups will be performed.
The system aligns the start time for the backup process relative to midnight on the day the command is issued or the system reloaded. For example, if the interval is set to 8 hours, backups will occur daily at 12 AM, 8 AM, and 4 PM every day. If the interval is set to 18 hours, backups will occur at 12 AM and 6 PM on the first day, and 12 PM and 6 AM on the second day, then repeat.

The interval at which the backup file should be written, in seconds.
no
(Optional) Disables automatic backup.
url
Specifies the backup file destination.
No automatic backup is performed by default.
The backup URL can refer to either a remote file or remote directory. If the URL ends in any character other than a slash (“/”), it is assumed to refer to a file name. The backup is written to that file, overwriting it if it already exists.
If the URL ends in a slash, the system assumes it is pointing to a directory. In this case, the system will create a new file with the following format: hostname-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.backup.
If the URL contains a password, it is encrypted so that it is not readable in the configuration file.
Refer to the URL Format page for more information on the syntax of the url parameter.
