Schedule recurring clones to keep your cloned instances up to date.

## Before you begin

Role required: clone_admin

## About this task

Instead of manually cloning instances, you can schedule cloning that happens automatically. You create a cloning schedule in the same interface that you use to [create a clone](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/TcHcTrs~luy2sg1TDGIsvQ#t_StartAClone "Request a clone to copy data from a production instance to a non-production instance or to copy data between non-production instances.").  
Note:  
The system limits the number of future clones you can schedule at once. The following are the maximum allowed scheduled clones by frequency:

* Every 4 weeks: 7 occurrences
* Every 2 weeks: 13 occurrences
* Weekly: 25 occurrences
