Full Backup Scheduling

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 0 views

Configuring a full backup of your Exchange Server data is a must and cannot be omitted. A full backup is necessary because BDRCloud Client will directly stream your Exchange Server database(s) when a full backup is configured and will transfer the data directly to your cloud. Once the full backup is completed, the log files that are older than the full backup starting time will be purged.

Scheduling

You can configure your backup schedules flexibly based on your requirements. You can choose from Hourly/Daily/Weekly/Monthly options for backup schedules.

  • Run Hourly- This option will let you run a full backup in hourly time intervals. Select the days in which the backup must run and the time interval between backup schedules.
  • Run Daily- This option lets you run a full backup once a day. Specify the time interval in which the full backups should run every day.
  • Run Weekly- This option will run a full backup once a week. Specify the day and time of your choice as to when to perform full backups in a week.
  • Run Monthly- Run Monthly selection will run the full backup once a month. Specify the day, time, and month of your choice for full backup schedules.

Note: Run Monthly is the recommended and default configuration

Full Backup Retention

  • You can specify the count for the maximum number of full backups to be retained. For example, when you set the count as 2 for retaining the full backups in the backup server, only the latest 2 versions of the full backup will be maintained at all times. The default value is 2 for full backup retention and the retention count ranges from ’01’ to ’99’.
  • Once done with scheduling full backups, click Next to proceed to configure Synthetic Full Backup.
