Creating schedules
The schedules defined on the Schedules tab determine when the backups occur for the selected policy. Each schedule also includes various criteria, such as how long to retain the backups.
Schedule attributes appear on the following tabs:
tab | Schedule the time and frequency at which a task runs, along with other scheduled attributes. |
tab | Schedule the time of each day that a task runs. |
tab | Indicate the days that a job cannot run. |
tab | Schedule the run days for a task by indicating specific dates, recurring weekdays, recurring days of the month. (This tab appears only when is selected as the .) |
To create a schedule for a policy
- On the left, click Policies, under Protection. Click the Schedules tab. Under Backup schedules, click Add. Click the Attributes tab.
- In the Attributes tab, enter a name for the schedule in the Name field.
- Select the Type of backup. For IaaS workloads, only Full backup is supported.
Full backup - Backs up all of the files that are specified in the policy. The files are backed up, regardless of when the files were last modified or backed up. Full backups occur automatically according to schedule criteria. If you run incremental backups, you must also schedule a full backup to perform a complete restore.
Differential incremental backup - Backs up the files that changed since the last successful incremental (differential or cumulative) or full backup. All files are backed up if no previous backup was done. Differential incremental backups occur automatically according to schedule criteria. A complete restore requires the last full backup and all differential incremental backups that occurred since the last full backup.
Archived redo log backup - In this method, NetBackup backs up the data that is changed since the subsequent full or incremental backup. Archive backups reduce the full and incremental backup windows significantly. About archive redo log backup for PaaS workloads
Note:
Amazon (AWS) RDS Oracle supports transaction log archiving.
- Under the Destination, the appropriate parameters are visible:
Override policy storage selection attribute works as follows:
Enabled: Instructs the schedule to override the Policy storage as specified on the policy Attributes tab. Select the storage from the list of previously configured storage units and storage lifecycle policies. If the list is empty, no storage is configured.
Disabled: Instructs the schedule to use the Policy storage as specified on the policy Attributes tab.
- Under Schedule type, select Calendar or Frequency.
Calendar Calendar-based schedules let you create a job schedule based on a calendar view. Select Calendar to display the Include dates tab. Enable Retries allowed after run day to have NetBackup attempt to complete the schedule until the backup is successful. With this attribute enabled, the schedule attempts to run, even after a specified run day has passed.
Frequency Use the Frequency attribute to specify how much time must elapse between the successful completion of a scheduled task and the next attempt. For example, assume that a schedule is set up for a full backup with a frequency of one week. If NetBackup successfully completes a full backup for all clients on Monday, it does not attempt another backup for this schedule until the following Monday. To set the frequency, select a frequency value from the list. The frequency can be seconds, minutes, hours, days, or weeks.
- Specify a Retention period for the backups. This attribute specifies how long NetBackup retains the backups. To set the retention period, select a period (or level) from the list. When the retention period expires, NetBackup deletes information about the expired backup. After the backup expires, the objects in the backup are unavailable for restores. For example, if the retention is 2 weeks, data can be restored from a backup that this schedule performs for only 2 weeks after the backup.
- Click Add to add the attributes, or click Add and add another to add a different set of attributes for another schedule.
