Backup Schedules

You can easily backup different resources using aewacs by defining backup schedules. After defining these schedules you can link them to your resources you want to take advantage of this backup feature.

Start by clicking “Backup Schedule” in the left main menu

Add

To add a backup schedule, start by clicking “add a backup schedule” at the top of the screen. This will bring up a screen where that will look something like this:

After providing a name and description you need to set a specific time for this schedule to run, as well as a timezone and certain days of retention. Next select if you want the schedule type to be weekly or monthly, as well as the days of the week / month it needs to run.

Delete

To delete a backup schedule click the “Delete” button next to the backup schedule you want to delete. After clicking delete you will see a confirmation screen to prevent accidental deletion of backup schedules as well as all resources connected to the schedule.

Download backup report

aewacs version 1.2.3 and later offers the option to download a report about backups. There are two flows to generate backup reports.

Generating a report about all backups

When viewing your backup schedules a link 'Download backup logs' is located at the top of the page.

After clicking on the link you can select a Begin and End period for the backup report. You can also select the source for which you want to see the report.

If you keep the source field empty, aewacs will generate a report about all backups in the selected timeframe. 

Generating a report about backups in a particular backup schedule

If you click on any backup schedule you will also see the option to download a backup report at the bottom of the page. This option will only allow you to generate a report based on the sources that are tied to that particular backup schedule.
