The backup configuration allows you to automatically back up policies and configuration settings. You can create a backup configuration schedule at which the restore points are automatically created at fixed intervals. An organization can have up to 12 restore points, including manual and scheduled backups. If the number of restore points reaches a limit of 12, then the next restore point is created by removing the oldest restore point in the list. However, if the oldest restore point is a Golden Restore Point, then the next oldest restore point is removed.

To access this feature, contact your Zscaler Account team.
