Activation

Activating the CDP Backup service ensures that your E2E Node data is continuously protected and recoverable in case of data loss. This section provides a step-by-step guide on enabling CDP backups, configuring backup schedules, and managing backup settings. You will also learn about different backup plans, exclusion options, and backup status indicators to monitor your backup process effectively.

How to activate CDP Backup service for nodes?​

  • The number of E2E Nodes currently created by you will be listed on the ‘Manage Backups’ page.
  • If you have not enabled the backups for your E2E Node while creating then the backup status will be ‘Backup Not Activated’. To enable CDP backup service for your E2E Node you will need to click on the ‘Activate Backup’ action.
  • Backup Schedule Configuration pop-up window will appear on the screen.

Backup Schedule Configuration​

Choose Schedule Plan- Please select the plan as per your requirement.

Note

The scheduled backup run time may vary based on the number of backup policies running at that point in time on our backup server.

  • Regular Plan: If you select the Regular Plan backup schedule it will create a backup every 6 hours and it will store the data as per these retention policies.
  • High Frequency - Long terms backups: If you select the High Frequency - Long terms backups backup schedule then it will create backup every 4 hours and it will store the data as per these retention policies.
  • Low Frequency - Long terms backups: If you select the Low Frequency - Long terms backups backup schedule then it will create backup every 10 hours and it will store the data as per these retention policies.
  • High Frequency - Short terms backups: If you select the High Frequency - Short terms backups backup schedule then it will create backup every 4 hours and it will store the data as per these retention policies.
  • Low Frequency - Short terms backups: If you select the Low Frequency - Short terms backups backup schedule then it will create backup every 10 hours and it will store the data as per these retention policies.
  • Exclude File/Folder: By default, all files and folders located on your node are replicated. However, if you want to ignore specific files/folders during backup, you can exclude them by specifying the path of the file/folder. You can use comma separation to add multiple paths.
  • You will receive notification emails for backup service activation and after the first backup recovery point creation.
