### Backup Policy
A backup policy is a predefined, set schedule used to schedule backups of information from business applications. For Dgraph, backups occur when data is copied to disk using the `backup ee` tool. A backup policy helps to ensure data recoverability in the event of accidental data deletion, data corruption a system outage.
We **strongly** recommend that you have a backup policy in place before moving your application to the production phase, and we also suggest that you have a backup policy even for pre-production apps supported by Dgraph database instances running in development, staging, QA or pre-production clusters.
We suggest that your policy include frequent full and incremental backups. Accordingly, we suggest the following backup policy for your production apps:
* [full backup](https://dgraph.io/docs/enterprise-features/binary-backups/#forcing-a-full-backup) every 24hrs
* incremental backup every 2/4hrs
