If the backup automation settings provided in the UI do not match your use case, you can manually configure your own backup automation using the [backup.create_automatic](/integrations/backup/#action-backupcreate_automatic) action.

Using the {% my developer_call_service service="backup.create_automatic" %} action in your own automation allows you to create automated backups on any schedule you like, or even add conditions and actions around it.
