Automatic Backup

Setup automatic backup

Java class implementation:

    com.orientechnologies.orient.server.handler.OAutomaticBackup

Introduction

Configure an automatic backup of databases. This task is configured as a Server handler. The task can be configured in easy way by changing parameters:

• enabled: true to turn on, false (default) is turned off
• delay: delay time. You can use different suffixes to specify different measures:
• ms for milliseconds. Example 10000ms means 10 seconds
• s for seconds. Example 10s means 10 seconds
• m for minutes. Example 5m means 5 minutes
• h for hours. Example 24h means every day
• d for days. Example 1d means every day
• target.directory: target directory, the default is "backup"
• target.fileName: target file name configurable using the following variables between ${}:
• ${DBNAME}, as the database name
• ${DATE}, as the current date following the format. For the complete syntax look at Java DateTime syntax
• db.include: database list to include. If empty means all the databases
• db.exclude: database list to exclude

NOTE: This feature is available since v. 1.0rc6.
