# MongoDB Atlas: enable Continuous Cloud Backup

## Steps
1. On the Clusters page, click the ⋯ next to the cluster name and select Edit Configuration.
2. Click Additional Settings.
3. Toggle Cloud Backup to On.
4. Toggle Continuous Cloud Backup to On.
5. Save/apply the configuration changes.

## Alternative path
From the cluster's own page, click Backup in the left menu, click Edit Backup Policy, and enable Continuous Cloud Backup there instead.

## End state
Atlas stores periodic snapshots plus oplog up to a configurable point-in-time-restore window, enabling restore to any point since the last snapshot; this raises the cluster's monthly cost. New dedicated clusters have cloud backup restores enabled by default, but this screen is where Continuous Cloud Backup specifically is turned on or off.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
