To configure the backup schedule for a service, go to the **Settings** tab in the console and click on **Change backup configuration**.

This opens a tab to the right where you can choose values for retention, frequency, and start time. You will need to save the chosen settings for them to take effect.

<Note>
  Start time and frequency are mutually exclusive. Start time takes precedence.

<Note>
  Changing the backup schedule can cause higher monthly charges for storage as some of the backups might not be covered in the default backups for the service. See ["Understanding backup cost"](/products/cloud/guides/backups/review-and-restore-backups#understanding-backup-cost).
