MarkLogic 12 Product DocumentationScheduled Database Backup Configuration Help
Scheduled Backups
allow you to specify a time in the future to perform a
database backup. The backup can either be one time or recurring.
To schedule a database backup, click the
Create tab and specify when and how often you want the
backup to occur.
The following are the configuration options:
- backup directory specifies the directory to which you want the database backed up.
- backup type specifies the task type:
- minutely specifies how many minutes between each backup.
- hourly specifies how many hours and minutes between each backup.
- daily specifies how many days between each backup and the time of day (in 24:00 notation).
- weekly specifies how many weeks between each backup, check one or more days of the week, and the time of day (in 24:00 notation) for the task to start.
- monthly specifies how many months between each backup, select one day of the month (1-31), and the time of day (in 24:00 notation) for the task to start.
- one-time specifies the start date in MM/DD/YYYY notation (for example, 07/29/2009 for July 29, 2009) and time in 24:00 notation.
- backup period specifies how often the backup should run (every n months, weeks, days, hours or minutes).
- days specifies which days to perform the scheduled backup.
- backup start time specifies the start time (in 24:00 notation) to start this schduled backup.
- max backups specifies the maximum number of backups to keep. When you reach the specified maximum number of backups, the next backup will delete the oldest backup. Choose 0 to disable backup deletions. This setting does not apply for incremental backups.
- backup security database specifies whether you want the backups to include the security database for this scheduled backup.
- backup schemas database specifies whether you want the backups to include the schemas database for this scheduled backup.
- backup triggers database specifies whether you want the backups to include the triggers database for this scheduled backup.
- include replicas specifies whether to include replica forests in the backup when local-disk failover is configured on your cluster. Specify true to include all local-disk replica forests for this database in the backup; specify false to not include the replicas. If you specify false, then if you have local-disk failover configured and a forest is failed over onto a replica at the time of the backup, then the backup will fail.
- incremental backup specifies whether to only backup the data changed since the last backup.
- journal archiving specifies whether to enable the point-in-time recovery feature.
