You may want to have regular backups of your instances. Morpehus is able to create "jobs" that will regularly create these backups. You will need to have a Storage target (S3 Bucket) defined first.
First: set up a Bucket to store the backups
You need to set up a Storage target in Morpheus to save your backups.
- Go to Infrastructure → Storage → Buckets.
