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:

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"
