# Create a Backup SLA

To create a new backup policy, please open the Backup SLAs tab under the Endpoints section and click on the **Create** button on the right. 

Enter the name of the new policy in the **Name** field, and configure the policy according to your requirements. 

Save the policy by clicking the **Save** button at the bottom of the page when finished. 

Once you finished the policy configuration, you have to [assign users](https://docs.storware.eu/70/administration/endpoints/organization-admin/backup-sla-management#assign-users-to-a-policy) to the policy.
