- You must set up an S3 storage location for the backup. See Change the backup storage location.
- The cluster must be operational.
You can schedule regular backups of the entire Bare Metal Orchestrator cluster, including the Global Controller and worker node configurations, sites, and related metadata.
Set the scheduled backup time interval with a cron time string of five characters. Time values are based on UTC.
For example, enter the following time interval to schedule a backup to occur every 15th of the month at 10:00 am:
0.10.15.*.*where each attribute from left to right defines the following:
- minute (values 0 to 59)
- hour (values 0 to 23)
- day of the month (values 1 to 31)
- month (values 1 to 12)
- day of the week (values 0 to 7, where both 0 and 7 represent Sunday)
Entering an * assigns no specific value.
You can also enter the time interval using the @every <duration>
syntax and specify a combination of seconds (s), minutes (m), and hours (h).
For example: @every 2h30m
