Automatic log backup is used in production systems to ensure data security.

1. In the menu bar of the Database Manager GUI, choose Instance ® Backup ® AutoLog on/off.
   A list of all of the backup media available for log backups is displayed. If you have already used the automatic log backup function, the medium used is already selected. You can choose a different medium or create a new one (Defining a Single Backup Medium).
2. Choose AutoLog ® Set Auto Log on to activate the automatic log backup. It remains activated until you deactivate it again by choosing Instance ® Backup ® Auto Log on/off and then Auto Log ® Auto Log off, even if you have restarted the database instance in the meantime (Starting the Database Instance/Restart).
