# Applications

Storware Backup & Recovery allows you to setup periodic backup with your own scripts or application-native backup commands. These can be executed either on the Node or remotely over SSH. 

The Application can reside anywhere - it can be in a VM, Kubernetes deployment, or on a physical box. 

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The only requirement is to allow Storware Backup & Recovery to execute a set of commands over SSH or on the node to access data remotely.
{% endhint %}

In this section are: 

[Instances](/70/administration/applications/instances.md) - Create Application definition (at least its name and Command Execution Configuration and select node which is going to do the work)

[Execution Configurations](/70/administration/applications/execution-configurations.md) - Prepare script or commands (this is a description of how your script is going to be invoked)

[Backups SLAs](/70/administration/applications/backup-slas.md) - allow you to setup a correlation between applications, backup destinations, and schedules. It also allows you to configure policy schedules (schedules tab).
