Schedule interface

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. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to Menu > Services > Storage > Backup.

2. Click the Schedule menu.

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

   • Schedule name: Enter a unique name for managing the schedule.
     • The name should start with an English letter and be between 3-30 characters, consisting of lowercase English letters, numbers, and hyphens (-).
   • Job: Select a backup job to apply the schedule to.
   • Backup method: Select the backup method to use.
     • Full: Back up all data in the backup target path.
     • Incremental: Only back up altered data in the backup target path.
       • If the data in the backup target path has no full backup history, the initial backup job is run with the full backup method, regardless of the backup method you set.
       • For incremental backups in PostgreSQL, the backup runs with the same capacity as a full backup.
   • Backup cycle: Select the cycle to perform the backup job.
     • Daily: Set the Start time to perform daily backup jobs.
     • Weekly: Set the Start day and Start time for performing weekly backup jobs.
     • Monthly: Select the Schedule criteria for performing monthly backup jobs, select the Start day or Start date based on the selected schedule criteria, and then set the 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 for performing a single backup job.
       • 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: Select the criteria for the schedule to start the backup job. Displayed when you select Monthly.
     • Start day: Select the day of the week to start the backup job. Displayed when you select Weekly or Monthly and select Day of the week as the schedule criteria.
     • Start date: Select a date to start the backup job. Displayed when you select Monthly and select Date as the schedule criteria.
   • Start time: Select 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.

Edit schedule

To edit a schedule:

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to Menu > Services > Storage > Backup.
2. Click the Schedule menu.
3. In the schedule list, select the schedule and then click [Edit].
4. After editing the backup schedule, click [Edit].
