Configuring database backup settings

You can configure the Unified Manager database backup settings to set the database backup path, retention count, and backup schedules. You can enable daily or weekly scheduled backups. By default, scheduled backups are disabled.

Before you begin

About this task

More time is required the first time a backup is performed than for subsequent backups because the first backup is a full backup. A full backup can be over 1 GB and can take three to four hours. Subsequent backups are incremental and require less time.

Steps

  1. In the toolbar, click , and then click Management > Database Backup.
  2. In the Management/Database Backup page, click Actions > Database Backup Settings.
  3. Configure the appropriate values for a backup path and retention count.
    The default value for retention count is 10; you can use 0 for creating unlimited backups.
  4. In the Schedule Frequency section, select the Enable checkbox, and then specify a daily or weekly schedule.
    Daily
    If you select this option, you must enter a time in 24-hour format for creating the backup. For example, if you specify 18:30, then a backup is created daily at 6:30 PM.
    Weekly
    If you select this option, you must specify the time and day for creating the backup. For example, if you specify the day as Monday and time as 16:30, then a weekly backup is created every Monday at 4:30 PM.
  5. Click Save and Close.
