How to configure the time for creating a full backup only on certain days on the server

Hello all

How to configure the time for creating a full backup only on certain days on the server. For example every Monday ?

On the Settings: Client tab, look at the Backup window for full file backups entry. If you see only one Backup window entry, click Show details to expand this list. Now you can create a separate Full backup window such as Mon/17:30-20:00.

This Client tab is specific to the Group or Separate Settings configured for your client, so backup schedules for the Office group can differ from the Warehouse group, for example, or Accounting can be held until Thu/22-23 for more time to print paychecks.

See the ? help button after the field for more suggestions.

Hello all
I have set up Backup window for full file backups on the 1/00:00-08:00, but backup on the monday 00:00 hours has not started. What am I doing wrong? Please need help.

Hello Darcman, there’s no way to directly control when a backup is run through the UrBackup webserver interface. It should however create a backup within the time window as specified. If you wish to run a backup and a specific time you need to start the backup at that time manually from the UrBackup webserver, or you need to schedule a backup through the Urbackup API (by writing a python script to start a backup at a specific time).

There could be serveral reasons why it doesn’t make a backup within the specified Window. For example the maximum number of backups could already be running during the backup window, and as such it won’t start another backup. Could this be the case?

Can you make a manual file backup if you start a file backup from the status page on the UrBackup Server?

Why can’t I start the backup at a certain scheduled time, which I configure via the web interface? I set time in the web interface as screenshot.

.
How i can config my backups as on the screenshot ? On the backup serverv run only this backup.

Can you make a manual file backup if you start a file backup from the status page on the UrBackup Server?
Yes i can run manual file backup on the UrBackup Serve via Web interface.

Nothing is mentioned in the server logs at night? Just for testing, how about if you change it to Mon-Sun/00:00-08:00

does that make a difference? Perhaps the server’s date is off?

Backup window does not mean that it is started at this point in thime, this is just the window where it is allowed to start. So you need to have another trigger. Look at the “File Backups” tab and look at the setting how often a full backup should be created. Setting this to e.g. every 7 days should trigger it to start during this window every week, if the last backup has been more than 7 days ago. (Maybe experiment what happens if you set it to e.g. 6 days).
