Stage-1 DR Policy for Local and Remote backup
- Local backup typically refers to saving container data, configurations, or entire container images to storage that is accessible within the same infrastructure or network, such as a local file system or on-premises storage device.
- For Stage-1 DRP with local backup, you need to create a Stage-1 DR policy. In the 'Backup Schedule Options,' you can configure a local backup.
- Here, you can set two intervals when creating a local backup: 'Short-term Backup Interval' and 'Time to Retain Short-term Backup.'
- Please note that the local backup interval must be shorter than the time to retain the local backup.
- Once you created a DR policy with local backup then it will see as below.
- Now you can apply by selecting the DR Policy.
- While apply you will see another window where you must put the all details for the stage-1 sync. For that please refer to the Configuring DR policy with PT and stage sync, it has same inputs you must put.
- Once you applied, it will start the stage-1 sync and backup will be created locally in storage pool.
Remote Backup:
- You can create a DR policy for the Remote Backup same as Local backup.
- Only changes are needed in the 'Backup Schedule Options': set the 'Long-term Backup Interval' to be greater than the periodicity and ensure the 'Time to Retain Long-term Backup' is a multiple of the DR frequency. Please see the snippet below for reference.
- Before applying the DRP for remote backup, first you must create a Cloud storage in Storage pool option, for this please refer KB Article on ‘Storage pool administration’. After creating a DR policy, it will look as below.
