Shared content for managing snapshot schedule policies using pxctl

The example below creates a policy named p1 with the following properties:

  • Portworx performs periodic backups every 60 minutes and keeps the last periodic 5 backups.
  • Portworx performs weekly backups every Sunday at 12:00 and keeps the last 4 weekly backups.

Run the following command to create the p1 backup policy:

pxctl sched-policy create --periodic 60,5 --weekly sunday@12:00,4 p1

You can add schedule policies either when a volume gets created or afterward.

Here is an example of how you can add a schedule policy when the volume is created:

pxctl volume create --policy p1 vol1

The following example adds or updates a schedule policy later:

pxctl volume snap-interval-update --policy p1 vol1

The example below removes a policy from a volume by setting the snap interval to 0:

pxctl volume snap-interval-update --periodic 0 vol1
