Hi Guillermo

This is not possible within the SSM application. You need to use the On-Prem console via SSH and start the backup manually.

SSM On-Prem – Backup and Restore
Q What is typically done for backing up the Cisco SSM??
A Backup is available. (See the On-Prem Shell documentation). This is not automatic and
does require it to be done manually though the shell commands. VM snapshotting is also
supported.
Q How do most customers backup the SSM On-Prem license server?
A It varies. Many organizations that work with VMs have an in place snapshot process, and
use their existing snap-shot procedures. Most customers use the On-Prem Shell to back
up the On-Prem license server.
Q How do I backup the SSM On-Prem license server?
A The backup process is performed via SSH login and using the SSM On-Prem Secure Shell.

If you have activated the DISA STIG profile this is all you can do. If you have root access you can probably run a cron job to start the backup periodically.
