+## Backup
+
+##### Creating Frequent Backups
+
+SCALE includes an integrated system to backup the kubernetes objects as well as make snapshots of the `PVC` and `ix_volume` storage.
+However, it does NOT create these outside of SCALE upgrades.
+
+To create daily backups of the kubernetes objects, create the following Cron Job:

+
+##### Exporting Backups
+
+The above only creates only a backup of the kubernetes objects and a snapshot of the `PVC` and `ix_volume` storage.
+It does not protect these against, for example, deletion of datasets or save them on an external system.
+
+We **highly** advice making both an internal backup (seperate dataset on the same system) *and* an offsite backup.
+One could create a normal recursive(!) replication of the `ix-volumes` dataset using the SCALE GUI, with the following few special tricks by editing the replication after creation:
+
+1. Exclude the docker images:

+
+2. Include any snapshots made by the above backup task
