1   Introduction

This document describes how to schedule a backup that is to occur at regular intervals.

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 periodic event schedule is known.
• An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.

2   Procedure

To schedule a backup that is to occur at regular intervals:

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)>BrmPeriodicEvent=P_EVENT_20140428_204

4. Create the periodic event by setting the required attributes, for example:

   (config-BrmPeriodicEvent=P_EVENT_20140428_204)>days=1

   (config-BrmPeriodicEvent=P_EVENT_20140428_204)>hours=5

   (config-BrmPeriodicEvent=P_EVENT_20140428_204)>minutes=30

   (config-BrmPeriodicEvent=P_EVENT_20140428_204)>weeks=1

   (config-BrmPeriodicEvent=P_EVENT_20140428_204)>months=2

   (config-BrmPeriodicEvent=P_EVENT_20140428_204)>startTime=2014-06-31T23:59:59

   (config-BrmPeriodicEvent=P_EVENT_20140428_204)>stopTime=2015-02-28T23:59:59

   Note:  

   Normally, not all attributes are needed to set.

   The value of these attributes cannot be cleared using the no <attribute_name> ECLI command.

   
   
5. Commit the periodic event:

   (config-BrmPeriodicEvent=P_EVENT_20140428_204)>commit

6. Verify that the periodic event was created:

   (BrmPeriodicEvent=P_EVENT_20140428_204)>show -v

   In the following example output of a periodic event configuration backups are created every two months, one day, five hours, and 30 minutes between 2014-06-31 and 2015-02-28:

   BrmPeriodicEvent=P_EVENT_20140428_204 days=1 hours=5 minutes=30 months=2 startTime="2014-06-31T23:59:59" stopTime="2015-02-28T23:59:59"
