The Schedule interface includes the following components:

Create schedule

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

1. In the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to Menu > All Services > Storage > Backup.

2. Click the Schedule menu.

3. When the Schedule creation page appears, set a schedule to run the backup, then click [Next].

   • Schedule name: A unique name for managing schedule jobs.
     • The name should start with a letter and be between 3-30 characters, consisting of lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (-).
   • Task: Apply a backup task to the schedule.
   • Backup method: Select the backup method to run.
     • Full: Back up all data in the backup target path.
     • Incremental: Only back up on data in the backup target path that has changed.
       • For incremental backups in PostgreSQL, the backup runs with the same capacity as a full backup.
   • Backup cycle: How often the backup job runs.
     • Daily: Set a start time to run the backup job every day.
     • Weekly: Set a start day and start time to run the backup job every week.
     • Monthly: Set a schedule criteria for the monthly backup job. Depending on the selected type, set the 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 job runs on that day.
       • If there's no selected Start date in the month, the backup job does not run.
         • Example: If you select Start date as the 30th, no backup job runs in February.
     • One-time: Set the start time to run the backup task once.
       • You can set the next start time based on the current time.
         • Example: If the current time is between 1:00 AM and 1:59 AM on January 1, you can set it from 2:00 AM on January 1.
     • Schedule criteria: Displayed when Monthly is selected. Select the criteria for determining when the backup job starts.
     • Start day: Displayed when Weekly is selected, or when Monthly is selected and Day of the week is selected as the schedule criteria. Select the day of the week on which to start the backup job.
     • Start date: Displayed when Monthly is selected and Date is selected as the schedule criteria. Select the date on which to start the backup job.
   • Start time: The time the backup starts.
   Note

   • Once you have set the schedule as one-time backup, you cannot change it.
   • You cannot change the monthly/weekly/daily schedules to one-time backup either.

4. Click [Create] after checking the setting details.

   • The schedule is created and displayed in the list.
   Caution

   If you only perform incremental backups, you may not be able to recover all of your data. Make sure to schedule full backups as well.

   Note

   • To not miss any data due to expiration, select a data retention cycle appropriate for the backup cycle.
   • If you have different schedules for the same job, make sure they do not overlap. If a new backup job starts during an ongoing backup job, the ongoing job is canceled.
