Use the Backup Configurations page to create and manage backup configurations. Backup configurations provide the information needed to make automatic backups of the domain directory, domain-dir.
The Backup Configurations page displays a list of backup configurations in the domain. For each configuration, the following information is displayed:
The name that was assigned to the configuration when it was created. Clicking the name opens the Edit Backup Configuration page for the configuration.
The name of the schedule used by the configuration. Clicking the schedule name opens the Edit Schedule page for the schedule.
An indication of whether automatic backups are enabled in the configuration.
A custom directory where backups generated by the configuration are stored. If no custom directory is specified, backups are stored in the domain-dir/backups/backup-config-name directory.
The number of previous backup files that are retained before the oldest one is deleted in order to save a new backup.
An indication of whether live backups are enabled in the configuration. When live backups are disabled, the domain is suspended before the backup operation and resumed after the backup operation completes. This suspension guarantees that the content of the domain directory does not change during the backup operation.
An indication of whether the configuration specifies a configuration-only backup. In a configuration-only backup, only the config subdirectory of the domain directory is backed up. In a full backup, the entire domain directory is backed up.
The date and time when a backup was successfully created using the configuration.
The Backup Configurations table also contains the following options.
Button to create a backup configuration.
Button to delete one or more selected backup configurations.
