Re your queries

@ronlee426

I can’t find the “Manage Third Party Backup” option mentioned in the user manual, no matter from the self-hosted VM downloaded from erpnext.com, or from the www.erpnext.com online account … anyone can help on this ?

The Third Party Backup option will be appear once its been enabled through:

1. Installing one of the apps (AWS)
   Amazon S3 BackUp App
2. Enabling it in the config file for Dropbox

Moreover, can I make the database backup schedule by myself ? I notice that the system will run a database backup task automatically but seems I can’t control the schedule from the Setup menu.

Yes you can, by configuring a cron job coupled with the bench backup command

@ronlee426

The last but not least, how can I deploy https to the self-hosted VM ? Is that possible?

Again you can do this using the bench command and you can find the details here. To note if you are using Virtualbox VM, the networking side of things will be a challenge if you are not familiar with Network Admin.

Hope this helps.
