Q: Airwave runs nightly backup everyday and stores last 4 backups.
Is it possible to tweak Airwave to run backups weekly (on a given day of week)?
A: We have added this feature in the 8.0.8 release of Airwave. On this release we can schedule weekly backups.
Below is the way to configure it.
We have added a new flag in the DB, enable it by running the below command.
[root@localhost mercury]# dbc " update seas_config set backup_weekly_day = 1";
Please note the integer value relates to the day of the week.
1 = Monday, 2 = Tuesday and 7 = Sunday.
The above command will enable AMP to run the backup each Monday.
Note: The nightly maintenance will continue to run each night. Hence the old logs/db will be cleaned as per the data retention settings.
If in future its required to disable this option, we can run the below command to do so.
[root@localhost mercury]# dbc " update seas_config set backup_weekly_day = NULL";
