# MongoDB Atlas: take an on-demand snapshot

## Steps
1. In Atlas, go to Clusters under the Database heading.
2. Click the button below the cluster name, then click Take Snapshot Now (also available on the cluster's Backup → Snapshots page).
3. In the On-Demand Snapshot modal, enter the Retention (days to keep the snapshot) and a Description.
4. Click Take Snapshot.

## End state
A new on-demand snapshot begins; it is listed under Backup → cluster → Snapshots once complete. Only one on-demand snapshot can be queued/in-progress at a time.

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.
