-##### Scheduling a Database Backup
-
-**Note:**
-
-Set `wal_keep_segments` parameter to a value that ensures
-{{ site.data.product.title_short }} scheduled backups finish. Create a test backup
-using a value based on the calculation:
-
-**(\<pg-volume-free-space\>MB/4)/16MB**.
-
-Measure free space in MB and ensure the denominator matches in units.
-
-Setting `wal_keep_segments` to this value will cause the transaction log
-to occupy, at a minimum, one quarter of the current free space. Adjust
-your calculation accordingly upon successful testing.
-
-To set the `wal_keep_segments` value:
-
-1.  SSH to the database appliance
-
-2.  Access the database
-
-        # psql DBNAME USERNAME
-
-3.  Set the `wal_keep_segments` value
-
-        postgres=# ALTER SYSTEM SET wal_keep_segments = <value>;
-
-4.  Reload `wal_keep_segments`
-
-        postgres=# SELECT pg_reload_conf();
-
-On successful backup, revise the value for `wal_keep_segments` to save
-space based on transaction log size.
