You can take a backup of the data on the staging table at periodic intervals.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

Data present in the staging table backed up if:

* Import tasks are in an Active state.
* Data creation date is earlier than the current date.

{#account-lifecycle-backup__ul_rrf_cdv_2yb}  
Note:  
Import tasks that are in a Canceled or Closed state aren't backed up.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem DefinitionScheduled Jobs.
2. Find the Scheduled Staging Data Backup Job scheduled job.  
   Note:  
   The job is inactive by default. Select the Active check box to run the scheduled job at the scheduled time.
3. Select Execute Now.  
   To configure the backup period, specify a number in the Value field for the `sn_accct_lc.BackupDays` system property. For example, if the Value field is set to 2, data that is more than two days old is included in the backup.

## Result

A CSV file is created and attached to the import task. The file name includes the name of the staging file and the creation date in the format `stagingTable-dateCreated.csv`.
