Backup Schedules

8 vues Markdown

The nine endpoints that set up backup schedules and manage the backups taken.

Overview

These nine endpoints handle two things. Five of them set up the schedules: what content, how often, to which target. The other four deal with the backups already taken.

A schedule is only an intent. What actually makes a backup is the scheduled job that picks the work up when its turn comes. Writing calls do not return a result straight away: the job queues, a record opens, and the status moves along over time.

Where backups go is a separate matter. Targets are set up through their own endpoints, and the storage_id here merely points at one of them.

Reference

Pitfalls

A new schedule is born switched off

Leave the status field out and the schedule is created switched off. It shows in the list, its next run time even reads full, and no night ever runs it. Believing it works and finding no backups months later starts here, so send the status along when you create it.

Only one backup runs at a time

While a backup runs, the take-by-hand and retry calls are refused. A script that lands in the nightly window reads that as a failure. The answer describes a busy moment rather than a lasting problem, so try again a little later.

There are two separate statuses

A backup's own status and its upload status are separate fields. One can read as ready while its offsite copy failed: the archive sits on the server and never reached the target. On the day you lose that server the second field is what matters, so read both together.

Retry is only for backups that failed

The retry endpoint refuses any backup whose status is not failed. One whose upload failed while it stayed ready cannot pass either, because what is missing there is the offsite copy rather than the backup. That case calls for taking a fresh backup.

Deleting a schedule does not delete its backups

When a schedule goes, the backups it made are unhooked and stay put. Their files remain and no retention count counts them for anyone any more. Freeing space means deleting those backups one by one, and deleting a backup cancels its queued job and removes its files.
