Configure backup schedule
You can add backup schedule in the Attributes tab of the Add backup schedule dialog, while creating a protection plan for the Kubernetes workloads.
See the Managing protection plans section of the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide, for details of how to create a protection plan.
To add backup schedule for the Kubernetes backup job
- On the left, click Protection > Protection plans and then click Add.
- In Basic properties, enter a Name, Description, and select Kubernetes, from the Workload drop-down list.
- Click Next. In Schedules, click Add schedule.
In the Add backup schedule tab, you can configure the options for retaining the backup and the snapshot.
- From the Recurrence drop-down, specify the frequency of the backup.
- In the Snapshot and backup copy options, do any of the following:
Select Create backup from snapshot option, to configure backup from snapshot for the protection plan. Specify retention period for the backup from snapshot using the Keep backup for drop-down.
Note:
Only full backup schedules are supported on the Kubernetes workloads. You can set the backup duration in hours, days, weeks, months, and years.
By default, four weeks is the backup retention duration.
Note:
You must select the Create backup from snapshot option to enable the replicate and duplicate options for backup copy.
If you do not select Create backup from snapshot option, then by default, Snapshot only storage backup will get configured to run the backup jobs.
Select Create a replica copy (Auto Image Replication) of the backup from snapshot option to create a replica copy of the backup.
Select Create a duplicate copy of the backup from snapshot option to create a duplicate copy of the backup.
- Continue creating the schedule in the Start window tab, as described in the Managing protection plans section of the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide
- Continue to configure the Storage options for backup from snapshot, as described in the Managing protection plans section of the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide
