ClickHouse Cloud allows you to configure the schedule for your backups for **Scale** and **Enterprise** tier services. Backups can be configured along the following dimensions based on your business needs.
15
+
16
+
-**Retention**: The duration of days, for which each backup will be retained. Retention can be specified as low as 1 day, and as high as 30 days with several values to pick in between.
17
+
-**Frequency**: The frequency allows you to specify the time duration between subsequent backups. For instance, a frequency of "every 12 hours" means that backups will be spaced 12 hours apart. Frequency can range from "every 6 hours" to "every 48 hours" in the following hourly increments: `6`, `8`, `12`, `16`, `20`, `24`, `36`, `48`.
18
+
-**Start Time**: The start time for when you want to schedule backups each day. Specifying a start time implies that the backup "Frequency" will default to once every 24 hours. Clickhouse Cloud will start the backup within an hour of the specified start time.

This opens a tab to the right where you can choose values for retention, frequency, and start time. You will need to save the chosen settings for them to take effect.

On Day 1, a full backup is taken to start the backup chain. On Day 2, an incremental backup is taken, and we now have a full and incremental backup available to restore from. By Day 7, we have one full backup and six incremental backups in the chain, with the most recent two incremental backups visible to the user. On Day 8, we take a new full backup, and on Day 9, once we have two backups in the new chain, the previous chain is discarded.

Your service will be backed up based on the set schedule, whether it is the default daily schedule or a custom schedule picked by you. All available backups can be viewed from the **Backups** tab of the service. From here, you can see the status of the backup, the duration, as well as the size of the backup. You can also restore a specific backup using the **Actions** column.

## Understanding backup cost
76
41
77
42
ClickHouse Cloud includes two backups for free, but choosing a schedule that requires retaining more data, or causes more frequent backups can cause additional storage charges for backups. If you do not change the default settings, you will not incur any backup cost.
78
43
79
44
To understand the backup cost, you can view the backup cost per service from the usage screen (as shown below). Once you have backups running for a few days with a customized schedule, you can get an idea of the cost and extrapolate to get the monthly cost for backups.

Estimating the total cost for your backups requires you to set a schedule. We are also working on updating our [pricing calculator](https://clickhouse.com/pricing), so you can get a monthly cost estimate before setting a schedule. You will need to provide the following inputs in order to estimate the cost:
