Chapter 4 Common StorNext Tasks
Scheduling StorNext Events
StorNext User’s Guide 57
Full Backup: By default, a full backup is run once a week to back up
the entire database, configuration files, and the file system metadata
dump file.
Partial Backup: By default, a partial backup is run on all other days
of the week that the full backup is not run. This backup includes
database journals, configuration files, and file system journal files.
Rebuild Policy: This scheduled event rebuilds the internal candidate
lists (for storing, truncation, and relocation) by scanning the file
system for files that need to be stored.
Each of these events initially has a default schedule, but you can
configure the schedules to suit your system needs.
Viewing a Schedule 4The procedure for viewing an event's existing schedule is the same
regardless of the event type.

Admin menu. The Feature Schedules screen appears.

3Click Configure. The Feature Schedules screen displays the selected
event type and any existing schedules.
4Click Close when you are finished viewing the schedule. (You can
also click Back to return to the previous screen.)
Note: The Scheduler does not dynamically update when dates and
times are changed significantly from the current setting. You
must reboot the system for the Scheduler to pick up the
changes.
