Schedule page

The Schedule page is laid out as follows:

Create schedule

To back up your data, you need to create a backup schedule. You can create multiple schedules for a single task to give you more flexibility in the method and cycle of your backup.
To create a schedule, follow these steps:

1. Click the environment you are using in the Region menu and the Platform menu on the NAVER Cloud Platform console.

2. Click Services > Storage > Backup in order.

3. Click Backup > Schedule in order.

4. When the schedule creation page appears, set a schedule to perform the backup and click the [Next] button.

   • Schedule name: enter a unique name for managing schedule tasks
     • The name should consist of lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (-); must start with an English letter. The total length must be from 3-30 characters.
   • Task: select a backup task to apply the schedule to
   • Backup method: select the backup method to perform
     • Full: back up all data in the backup target path
     • Incremental: only perform back up on the data in the backup target path that has changed
       • If the data in the backup target path has no history of being backed up with the full backup method, the initial backup task is performed with the full backup method, regardless of the backup method you set.
       • For incremental backups in PostgreSQL, the backup is performed with the same capacity as a full backup even during incremental backup operations.
   • Backup cycle: select how often to perform the backup task
     • Daily: set a start time to run the backup task every day
     • Weekly: set a start day and start time to run the backup task every week
     • Monthly: set a schedule criteria for the monthly backup task, depending on the selected type, set start day or start date then start time
       • For the start day, you can select the first or third week.
       • If you select the start date as the last day of the month, the backup task is performed on the last day of the month.
       • If there's no selected start date in a month, the backup task is not performed.
         • <example> If you select a start date of the 30th, no backup task is performed in February
     • One-off: set the start time to perform the backup task once
       • You can set from the next time zone based on the current time.
         • <example> If the current time is in the 01:00-01:59 AM time zone on January 1, you can set it from 02:00 AM on January 1
     • Schedule criteria: displayed when selected monthly, select the schedule criteria to start the backup task on
     • Start day: displayed when selected weekly or monthly and selecting the schedule basis as day of the week, select the day of the week to start the backup task
     • Start date: displayed when selected monthly and the schedule criteria as date, select a date to start the backup task
   • Start time: select a time to start the backup
   Note

   • If the retention period of the policy applied to the task is not 2 times the backup cycle, the retention period edit prompt appears when you click the [Next] button. Edit the retention period to be at least 2 times the backup interval, and click the [Edit] button.
   • The following retention periods are available for each backup cycle:
     • Daily: a minimum of 7 days to a maximum of 365 days
     • Weekly: a minimum of 14 days to a maximum of 365 days
     • Monthly: a minimum of 60 days to a maximum of 365 days
   • If you have different schedules for the same task, make sure they do not overlap. If a new backup task is started during a backup task due to overlapping backup schedules or started simultaneously, the backup task is not performed.

5. After checking the set information, click the [Create] button.

   • The schedule is created and displayed in the list.
