Kaspersky Next XDR Expert allows you to create backups according to a schedule, view the current schedule, pause or resume scheduled backups, and delete the schedule.
You can configure only one backup schedule. Creating a new schedule will replace the existing one.
Before using the scheduled backup, we recommend creating a backup manually to ensure that the network folder for storing backups is configured correctly and is accessible.
Configuring the backup schedule
To configure the backup schedule,
On the administrator host, run the following command:
./kdt invoke backup-operator -a updateSchedule \
--param schedule='<schedule>' \
--param schedule_paused=<schedule_is_paused> \
--param backup_retain=<max_number_of_backups>
where:
<schedule> is a line in the UNIX cron format that specifies the frequency of backups. For example, if you want to create a backup at 9:30 AM on the 1st and 15th of each month, and every Monday, use the following command:./kdt invoke backup-operator -a updateSchedule --param schedule='30 9 1,15 * 1' --param schedule_paused=false --param backup_retain=5
<schedule_is_paused> is a parameter that specifies the state of the scheduled backup after the schedule is created:<schedule_is_paused>=false—Scheduled backup is active and will run as configured.<schedule_is_paused>=true—Scheduled backup is paused and will not run.<max_number_of_backups> is the maximum number of backups that can be stored in a network folder. The default value is 10. If the network folder already contains the maximum number of backups, the next backup will overwrite the oldest one. If you reduce the parameter value (for example, set <max_number_of_backups> to 3 when creating a backup manually or when configuring a backup schedule), KDT will delete all backups except the three most recent ones.The backup schedule is configured.
View the details of the backup schedule
To view the details of the backup schedule,
On the administrator host, run the following command:
./kdt invoke backup-operator -a getBackupSchedule
The configured backup schedule details are displayed, including the schedule name shown in the NAME column.
Pausing the scheduled backup
To pause the scheduled backup,
On the administrator host, run the following command:
./kdt invoke backup-operator -a updateSchedule --param schedule_paused=true
The scheduled backup is paused.
Resuming the scheduled backup
To resume the scheduled backup,
On the administrator host, run the following command:
./kdt invoke backup-operator -a updateSchedule --param schedule_paused=false
The scheduled backup is resumed.
