You can enable backups for your environment to protect against data loss. If necessary, you can restore your environment from a backup. There are two types of backups:
All backups are stored in secure storage, protected by credentials that are only available to you through your Jahia Cloud account or to our support teams. The environment backups contain everything related to code (modules) and content and ensure that the restored environment will behave exactly as the original one. Backups are stored for an unlimited amount of time and are deleted when your backup quota is reached. The default quota is set to 30 environment snapshots and can be increased for a fee.
Manual and on-demand snapshots do not generate downtime for end visitors to your site. However, the platform will change to read-only mode while the snapshots occurs to ensure data consistency. The following image shows the Backups page.
You can trigger a manual backup at any time. For example, you may want to trigger a backup before performing an upgrade of your environment.
To trigger a manual backup:
You can specify a backup schedule for one or more days of the week. When you specify the schedule, you define the time and days that you want the backup to occur. You can specify one time per day and multiple days of the week. You can create only one backup schedule.
To create a backup schedule:
HH:MM AM/PM
in Universal Time (UTC). The following example shows backups specified for 11:00 PM
daily.When backups are created, they display in the Available backups list.
If you want to add a new schedule, you first delete the current schedule.
You can restore an environment from the automated and manual backups performed on your environment. Restoring a backup installs a new platform following the same process as for creating an environment.
