System backup uses a backup policy to create a snapshot of the configuration of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) to a remote backup server. For details on how backup policies work, see Data and configuration backups in the Administration Guide. For details on configuring a backup policy using the REST API, see Backup policy. To encypt the backup, see Encrypting system backup policy.
