Creating a schedule for a backup

The schedule operation allows you to back up your data at specified periodic intervals. The first backup is performed when the schedule is created, and subsequent backups happen at the scheduled interval.

Scheduled backups are saved with the name <SCHEDULE NAME>-<TIMESTAMP>, where <TIMESTAMP> is formatted as YYYYMMDDhhmmss.

In an OpenShift or Kubernetes environment, the scheduled backup operation create snapshots of the CSI-backed volumes on a pre-defined time interval.

For example, use the following sample yaml file to create backup schedules of the nginx-app namespace after every 30 minutes that has a validity of 2 hours.

apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: Schedule
metadata:
  name: daily
  namespace: velero
spec:
  schedule: "*/30 * * * *"    
  template:
    hooks: {}
    includedNamespaces:
    -   nginx-app                 
    ttl: 02h00m0s
