    Hi Dinesh,

    Options to schedule backup for hmc and partition config backup data are available.

    For taking backup of HMC critical console data which includes the hmc configuration data, refer to https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/power9?topic=tasks-schedule-operations
    For taking backup of partition data, you can select System -> Scheduled Operations , click Options and then click New and then use the Backup Profile data option.

    Does this address your requirement?

    Thanks.
