The snapshot section of the admin menu allows to do the following:

• The backup plan will define how often a backup of the configuration will be performed.
• The backup operation consists of taking a snapshot of the configuration, which is stored on Pro.Monitor server.
• To configure the backup, set its recurrence using the backup plan formular below.
• If Smart backup is active, the snapshot will be created only if a configuration change occurred since the last backup

• It will be displayed in the table of available snapshots. From this table you will see snapshot date, comment and if it was added manually or generated automatically.
