updatebackupschedule

This utility is used with all ArcGIS Data Store types.

By default, ArcGIS Data Store creates a full backup of the relational store every four days. You can change how often a full backup is created by running the updatebackupschedule utility.

There are no default automatic backups for the other data store types. To set an automatic backup schedule for them, you must first set a valid backup location.

Specify a start time using 24-hour clock notation, for example, 00:00:00 for midnight and 13:00:00 for 1 p.m. Use the frequency option to specify the number of days between backups. To disable automatic backups, set the frequency to 0. If you disable automatic backups, be sure to run the backupdatastore utility to create backups manually.

You can run the updatebackupschedule utility on the primary relational store machine. The tool can be run on any spatiotemporal big data store, object store, or graph store machine.

For more information about ArcGIS Data Store backups, see Manage ArcGIS Data Store backups.

Syntax

updatebackupschedule [--store {relational | spatiotemporal | graph | object}] [--starttime <local server time>] --frequency <number of days>

If you do not specify a new start time, the existing start time setting does not change. If you do not specify a data store type, relational store is assumed.

Examples

In this example, full backups of a relational store will take place at 11 p.m. (local server time) every 10 days:

./updatebackupschedule.sh --starttime 23:00:00 --frequency 10

updatebackupschedule --starttime 23:00:00 --frequency 10
