Schedule

Available in Classic and VPC

Schedule describes the layout of the Schedule menu interface and how to create, edit, and delete backup schedules.

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 task 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 > Services > Storage > Backup.

2. Click the Schedule menu.

3. When the Schedule creation interface appears, choose a Schedule to run the backup and select [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 letters, numbers, and hyphens (-).
   • Task: Select a backup task 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 task 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 how often to perform the backup task.
     • Daily: Set a start time to perform daily backup tasks.
     • Weekly: Set the start day and start time for performing weekly backup tasks.
     • Monthly: Select the schedule criteria for performing monthly backup tasks, 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 set the start date as the last day of the month, the backup task runs on that day.
       • If there's no selected start date in the month, the backup task is not run.
         • Example: If you select a start date of the 30th, no backup task is run in February.
     • One-time: Set a start time for performing a single backup task.
       • 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 1st, you can set it from 2:00 AM on January 1st.
     • Schedule criteria: Select the criteria for the schedule to start the backup task. Displayed when you select monthly.
     • Start day: Select the day of the week to start the backup task. 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 task. Displayed when you select monthly and select date as the schedule criteria.
   • Start time: The time the backup starts.
   Note

   • You can set the retention period regardless of the backup cycle. 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 task, make sure they do not overlap. If a new backup task starts during an ongoing backup task, the ongoing task is canceled.

4. Select [Create] after checking the set information.

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