Create Unlocked Schedule Policy

1. Login and access Portworx Backup home page.

2. Select Policies from the left navigation pane. Select + icon:

   

3. In the Add Policy window:

   

   • Policy Name: name your policy and select a type

   • Object Lock Policy: do not select this option to create an unlocked schedule policy for your backup.

   • Periodic: A periodic policy runs at fixed intervals defined in minutes and hours

   • Daily: runs every day at a specified time. Provide the hours and minutes from midnight to define the time.

   • Weekly: runs once a week on the specified day and time.

   • Monthly: runs on a specified day of the month. If the day given is longer than the current month, it will roll over to the next month.

   • Retain: select the number of backups to retain concurrently. This option determines how long backups and snapshots should be kept before they are deleted.

   • Incremental count: specify the number of incremental backups between two full backups. This applies only to Portworx volumes. Incremental backups capture changes made since the last backup, as a result they are faster and use less storage space than full backups.

     note

     All schedule policies are executed on the connected application cluster's local time zone.

4. When you're done, select the Create button.
