# DBaaS backup and restore
!!! caution alert alert-primary "Do not use for mission-critical workloads"
DBaaS feature is deprecated. We encourage you to use [Percona Everest](http://per.co.na/pmm-to-everest) instead. Check our [Migration guide](http://per.co.na/pmm-to-everest-guide).
You can add a backup schedule while creating DB clusters in DBaaS. This feature is a fusion of backup management and DBaaS in PMM. Currently, DBaaS only supports scheduled backups, which can only be enabled when a database cluster is created.
To create a scheduled backup do the following:
**Prerequisites**
1. Enable Backup management:
From the main menu, navigate to {{icon.configuration}} *Configuration* → *Settings* → *Advanced Settings* → *Backup Management* to enable *Backup management*.
2. Add a backup storage location:
!!! note alert alert-primary "Note"
Currently, only S3 is supported.
From the main menu, navigate to *Backups → Storage Locations → Add storage location* and enter all the required information to add a backup storage location. For details, see [Prepare a storage location](../get-started/backup/prepare_storage_location.md).
## Create a backup schedule
To create a backup schedule do the following:
1. From the main menu navigate to *DBaaS* → *DB Cluster*.
2. Click toggle in the *Enable backups* panel.
3. In the *Backup Information* panel, enter the backup details.
4. Set the schedule for when scheduled backups should take place:
From the drop-down select the *Scheduled time* when you want the backup to take place.
5. Click *Create*.
## Restore backup
You can create a DBaaS cluster from a backup stored on S3. You can use backups from an existing cluster to spin up a new database cluster from this backup.
To restore backup, do the following:
1. From the main menu navigate to *DBaaS* → *DB Cluster*.
2. Click toggle in the *Enable restore* panel.
