From the list of services, select Cloud Backup.

Click Activate.
If there is no Activate button, and you have access to creating a VM with a Cloud Backup connection, it means the service has already been activated.
After activation, the system automatically creates the following backup policies:
Default daily: Daily incremental backup with the last 15 backups retained.Default weekly: Weekly incremental backup with the last 15 backups retained.Default monthly: Monthly incremental backup with the last 15 backups retained.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.
By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.
