Setting SLA configuration options for your backup

Edit online

After you set up a service level agreement (SLA) policy for your backup job, you can choose to configure extra options for that job. Additional SLA options include running scripts, and forcing a full base backup.

Procedure

  1. In the Policy Options column of the SLA Policy Status table for the job that you are configuring, click the clipboard icon clipboard icon to specify additional configuration options.
    If the job is already configured, click on the icon to edit the configuration.
  2. Click Pre-Script and define the prescript configuration by choosing one of the following options:
    • Click Use Script Server and select an uploaded script from the menu.
    • Do not click Use Script Server. Select an application server from the list to run the script at that location.
  3. Click Post-Script and define the PostScript configuration by choosing one of the following options:
    • Click Use Script Server and select an uploaded script from the menu.
    • Do not click Use Script Server. Select an application server from the list to run the script at that location.
    Scripts and script servers are configured on the System Configuration > Script page. For more information about working with scripts, see Configuring scripts.
  4. To continue running the job when the script that is associated with the job fails, select Continue job/task on script error.
    If this option is selected, the backup or restore operation is reattempted after an initial fail, and the script task status is reported as COMPLETED when the script completes processing with a nonzero return code. If this option is not selected, the backup or restore is not reattempted and the script task status is reported as FAILED.
  5. Skip Exclude Resources for MongoDB SLA options, as you cannot specify resources to exclude. Instances are backed up rather than individual databases.
  6. To create a full, new backup of a MongoDB instance, select Force full backup of resources.
    A full new backup of that resource is created to replace the existing backup of that resource for one occurrence only. After that the resource is backed up incrementally as before.
