Create unlocked schedule policy

1. On the Portworx Backup home page, navigate to left navigation pane and click Clusters.

2. On the upper-right corner, click Settings > Schedule Policies.

   

3. Select + icon or Add new:

   

4. 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.
