storage backup policy add
Configures the backup protection policy.
Syntax
[failover-peer] storage backup policy add <policy-name> proxy-id <proxy-id> schedule-type {daily [hour <hour>] [minute <minute>] | hourly [minute <minute>] | weekly [day <day>] [hour <hour>] [minute <minute>]}
Parameters
failover-peer
Performs the command on the failover peer of the current appliance. If the failover peer is unavailable, the changed configuration is automatically applied when the appliance returns to service.
You can run failover-peer commands only on a Core appliance in ActiveSolo failover state.
<policy-name>
Policy name.
proxy-id <proxy-id>
Specifies the backup proxy identifier. Identifiers are case sensitive.
schedule-type
Specifies the type of schedule.
daily
Specifies once a day.
hourly
Specifies every hour.
Because each backup operation takes approximately two minutes to complete, enabling the hourly option for more than 30 LUNS can result in an increasing number of nonreplicated snapshots on Edges.
weekly
Specifies once a week.
hour <hour>
Specifies hour of the day in the 24-hour clock format. For example, for 4:00 P.M., specify 16. The range is from 0 to 23.
minute <minute>
Specifies the minutes after the hour; the valid range is from 0 to 59.
day <day>
Specifies the day of the week for a weekly schedule. Use the first three characters (lowercase) of the English term for the day of the week: for example, sun, mon, tue, and so on.
Usage
This command configures the backup policy that binds together the backup proxy and the schedule to run the backup operation. You can create an hourly, daily, or weekly backup schedule.
If you selected hourly, optionally specify the number of minutes after the hour to start the backup. If you selected daily, optionally specify a time (the local time at the Edge) to start the backup. If you selected weekly, optionally select the day of the week and time (the local time at the Edge).
One backup proxy can be shared among multiple backup policies. You can trigger this policy by using the storage backup trigger command on the Edge appliance.
The typical workflow for setting up backup protection follows:
1. Use the storage server add command to add an Edge server.
2. Use the storage backup proxy add command to add the backup proxy.
3. Use the storage backup policy add command to configure the backup protection policy.
4. Use the storage backup group add command to add the backup protection group.
Example
Core_01 (config) # storage backup policy add Edge-xxx-VBP proxy-id pxy_1 schedule-type weekly day mon
