1   Introduction

This document describes how to schedule a regularly occurring backup, that is, to create a backup using a calendar-based periodic event.

A calendar-based periodic event can be used as follows:

• To schedule an event that is effective as soon as the configuration is committed
• To schedule an event that is effective from a specified time in the future

The procedure in this document illustrates the latter case.

Note:  

When any of the following backup operations is in progress, a scheduled backup event that is triggered is postponed and retried at regular intervals later:

• Manual backup creation
• Scheduled backup creation
• Backup deletion
• Backup restore

1.1   Prerequisites

This section describes the prerequisites, which must be fulfilled before using the procedure.

1.1.1   Conditions

The following conditions must apply:

• The event name is known.
• The calendar-based periodic event values are known.
• An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.

2   Procedure

To schedule a backup that is to occur regularly:

1. Navigate to the BrmBackupScheduler managed object, for example:

   >dn ManagedElement=<Node Name>,SystemFunctions=1,BrM=1,BrmBackupManager=USER_DATA,BrmBackupScheduler=USER_DATA

2. Enter Config mode:

   (BrmBackupScheduler=USER_DATA)>configure

3. Enter the event name, for example:

   (config-BrmBackupScheduler=USER_DATA)>BrmCalendarBasedPeriodicEvent=C_EVENT_20140428_314

4. Create the calendar-based periodic event by setting the relevant attributes, for example:
   • (config-BrmCalendarBasedPeriodicEvent=C_EVENT_20140428_314)>dayOfWeek=SUNDAY

     dayOfWeek defines what day of the week the event is triggered once effective, in this case Sunday.

   • (config-BrmCalendarBasedPeriodicEvent=C_EVENT_20140428_314)>dayOfWeekOccurrence=FIRST

     dayOfWeekOccurence further specifies the value entered for dayOfWeek. In this case, the event is to be triggered only the first Sunday of the month once effective.

   • (config-BrmCalendarBasedPeriodicEvent=C_EVENT_20140428_314)>startTime=2014-06-31T23:59:59

     startTime defines the time in the future when the event becomes effective.

   • (config-BrmCalendarBasedPeriodicEvent=C_EVENT_20140428_314)>time=03:00:00

     time defines the time when the event is triggered once it becomes effective.

5. Commit the calendar-based periodic event:

   (config-BrmCalendarBasedPeriodicEvent=C_EVENT_20140428_314)>commit

6. Verify that the calendar-based periodic event was created:

   (BrmCalendarBasedPeriodicEvent=C_EVENT_20140428_314)>show

   The following is an example output of a calendar-based periodic event where backups are created every first Sunday of the month at 03:00 from 2014-06-31, 23:59:59 until the end of the century.

   BrmCalendarBasedPeriodicEvent=C_EVENT_20140428_314 dayOfWeek=SUNDAY dayOfWeekOccurrence=FIRST startTime=2014-06-31T23:59:59 time=03:00:00
