Chapter 4 Common StorNext Tasks

Scheduling StorNext Events

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.

Health Check: By default, health checks are set up to run every day of the week, starting at 7:00 a.m.

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

Each of these events initially has a default schedule, but you can

 

 

configure the schedules to suit your system needs.

 

 

The procedure for viewing an event's existing schedule is the same

Viewing a Schedule

 

regardless of the event type.
