# Update backup schedule

`PUT /projects/{project_id}/branches/{branch_id}/backup_schedule`

Updates the backup schedule for the specified branch.
The schedule defines how often automatic snapshots are created (e.g., `daily`, `weekly`).

**Note**: This endpoint is currently in Beta.

## Request body

- BackupSchedule
  - `schedule` BackupScheduleItem[], required
    - `frequency` string, required — How often to take snapshots. Must be one of the following values: - `daily` - `weekly` - `monthly`
    - `hour` integer — The hour of the day to take the snapshot (if applicable).
    - `day` integer — The day of the week or month to take the snapshot (if applicable).
    - `month` integer — The month of the year to take the snapshot (if applicable).
    - `retention_seconds` integer — How long to keep a snapshot (in seconds) before it's automatically deleted. If not set, the snapshot is kept indefinitely.

## Response `200`

Empty response

- EmptyResponse — Empty response.

## Other responses

- `default` — General Error. The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code, and whether a response was received. - If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred. - In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results. The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: `POST`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, and `PUT`. Retrying these methods is generally **not safe**. The following methods are considered idempotent: `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`. Retrying these methods is **safe** in the event of a network error or timeout. Any request that returns a `503 Service Unavailable` response is always safe to retry. Any request that returns a `423 Locked` response is safe to retry. `423 Locked` indicates that the resource is temporarily locked, for example, due to another operation in progress.
