MarkLogic Server 11.0 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.
- A Key Encryption Key (KEK) to use for backup encryption, the must valid and be usable to encrypt and decrypt. This field can only be provided when MarkLogic is configured with an external KMS.
