Schedule automatic snapshots

Create a schedule for automatic backups

Schedule automatic Snapshots on the Snapshots panel, at the level of the Projects root, or any folder, or individual Teamwork project.

By default, all Teamwork projects and libraries inherit the Snapshot schedule of their parent folder.

If needed, you can define a different Snapshot schedule locally for any of these child items.



Defining snapshot settings for a folder will not back up the contents of that folder. The only purpose of defining snapshot settings for a folder is to apply these snapshot settings to the Teamwork projects/libraries they contain.

Click Edit to choose a schedule:



Inherited (default): Use the Snapshot settings of the parent folder.

Defined locally: Set a snapshot schedule at the local level to override the parent folder’s snapshot settings



  • Don't Create: This snapshot type will not be created

  • Hourly: The snapshot will be created hourly, based on the below settings

  • Daily: The snapshot will be created at a set time each day

  • Keep last: Enter the number of snapshots to keep. (You must keep at least one copy.) With each additional automatic snapshot, the oldest stored snapshot will be deleted.

Click Save.

Keep snapshot (prevent automatic delete)

Not available for PLN snapshot.

From the list at the bottom of the Snapshots panel, select an automatic snapshot.

Click Keep to retain this automatic snapshot even after it would otherwise be scheduled to be deleted.

After you click Keep, the automatic snapshot becomes a Manual Snapshot, with an editable Name, and will henceforth be listed as a Manual Snapshot.
