When I implement it, I get this error. Is this happening because this is not available for cloud weaviate services.

hi @OmerM !

That’s right. All clusters we host already have backups. So no need to worry about it.

You can trigger some backups ad hoc too.

Please, for all questions related to our cloud offerings, forward them to [support@weaviate.io](mailto:support@weaviate.io) for a better support.

Thanks!
