Missing automated backup schedule increases data loss window

Infrequent or ad-hoc manual backups create large time windows between backups, increasing the amount of data at risk during failures, outages, or data corruption events

Implement automated backup scheduling using cron jobs, Kubernetes CronJobs, or external schedulers to call POST /v1/backups/{provider}/{backupId} at regular intervals. Choose backup frequency based on RPO requirements and data change rate. Implement retention policy to manage storage costs.
