## ![](/files/CBvqj0H8446fKLeXtHLv)Overview

You can disable scheduled backups and archives individually for each Salesforce Organization. By default, both are enabled. Scheduled backups and scheduled archives can be controlled separately. When set to **Disabled**, no system-scheduled or user-scheduled operations will run. This article shows you how to disable backups for an organization.

{% hint style="info" %}
For simplicity, this article refers to backups and archives as "backups/archives." Since scheduled backups and scheduled archives can be disabled independently, you can choose to disable either one or both.
