You can configure the following options in the "Backup Service" section of the {% data variables.enterprise.management_console %}.
|
|
|
|
## Snapshot retention
|
|
|
|
* **Number of snapshots**: Sets how many backup snapshots to retain (default: `10`). Older snapshots are automatically pruned after each successful backup.
|
|
|
|
## Restore options
|
|
|
|
* **Skip audit logs restore**: Excludes audit logs during a restore.
|
|
* **Restore Management Console password**: If enabled, restores the root site admin password from snapshot data (default: `true`).
|
|
|
|
## Performance tuning
|
|
|
|
* **Process priority**:
|
|
|
|
* **Nice**: Sets the CPU scheduling priority (`nice -n 19` by default).
|
|
* **Ionice**: Sets the I/O scheduling priority (`ionice -c 3` by default).
|
|
|
|
* **Rsync compression**: Uses compression for `rsync` transfers during backup and restore, reducing bandwidth usage.
|
|
|
|
## MSSQL backup schedule
|
|
|
|
* **MSSQL backup cadence**: Sets the schedule for full, differential, and transaction log backups, in minutes (default: `10080,1440,15`).
|
|
|
|
## Backup content
|
|
|
|
* **Include Pages**: Adds {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} data to snapshots.
|
|
* **Skip search indices**: Excludes search index data from snapshots.
|
|
|
|
## Parallelization settings
|
|
|
|
* **Enable parallel jobs**: Allows multiple backup jobs to run concurrently.
|
|
* **Max jobs**: Limits the total number of parallel backup jobs.
|
|
* **Max rsync jobs**: Limits the number of parallel `rsync` jobs.
|
|
* **Max system load**: Sets a load limit to throttle parallel processing when needed.
