Scheduling a Forest Backup
You can schedule forest backups to periodically back up a forest. You can schedule backups to occur daily, weekly, monthly, or you can schedule a one-time backup. You can create as many scheduled backups as you want.
To create a scheduled backup, follow these steps:
Click Forests in the left tree menu. A list of forests appears.
Click your target forest. The Forest Configuration page appears.
Click the Scheduled Backups link in the tree menu for the forest. The scheduled backups page appears.
Delete any existing scheduled backups if you no longer need them.
Click the Create tab. The Schedule a Forest Backup page appears.
In the backup directory field, enter the absolute path to the backup directory. The backup directory must have permissions such that the MarkLogic Server process can read and write to it.
Select a backup type. Complete the additional fields for the backup type selected:
