Create schedule

Users with appropriate privileges can back up all data from tenants using schedules. They thus create restore points. All data from the tenant is saved in a backup list.

Any number of schedules can be created for each tenant. If you create a large number of schedules and backups, make sure the storage medium has sufficient capacity.

Prerequisites

Warning

To avoid data inconsistencies and possible data loss, you must not perform any of the following activities in parallel, neither manually nor scheduled:

- Deleting any Process Governance process instance, process version, or process

- Archiving Process Governance process instances

- Backup/restore tenant (containing Process Governance or ARIS document storage data)

Procedure

  1. Click Schedules. The schedules for all tenants are displayed.
  2. Click Create tenant Create schedule. The Create schedule dialog opens.
  3. Enter the description for the backup. This text makes it easier to select the relevant backup when restoring the tenant.
  4. Select the time for the automatic backup. You can set an automatic backup daily or on a particular day of the week. Select a time on the hour as the start time.
  5. Select the maximum number of backups to be saved in the tenant backup list for this schedule. If you select 10, a maximum of the 10 last versions can be restored.
  6. Select the tenant to be backed up.
  7. Click OK.

The schedule is created.

An additional backup is added to the tenant backup list at the specified time. If the selected number of backups already exists, the oldest is removed to free up space for the new backup.
