Namespaces - Actions

This page lists the various actions that may be executed by a user for a single namespace.

PreviousNamespacesNextNamespaces - Bulk Actions

The Backup & Recovery's Namespace page is primarily an informational page, presenting the user with a complete overview of everything related to their namespaces. However, there are some actions that the user can take, which are detailed in the following sections of this page. There are four actions that may be executed for a single namespace:

  • Actions - Create Backup

  • Actions - View Backup & Restore summary

  • Actions - View Namespace details

  • Actions - View Target summary

Actions - Create Backup

From the Backup & Recovery's Namespace page:

  1. Identify the listed namespace for which you wish to perform an action.

  2. Click the corresponding Actions button on the right side of the main UI window.

  3. From the menu displayed, select Create Backup.

  4. Optionally, from the window displayed, you can place a check in the Show explicit backupplans for the selected items checkbox. This results in the existing backup plan list showing only backup plans for selected items. For example, if a user has selected NS1 and NS2, then backup plans containing NS1 and NS2 only will be shown. Otherwise, backup plans containing either NS1, NS2 or both together will be shown.

  5. Check if any existing backup plans are available. If you see an existing backup plan that suits, select it and skip to step 7.

  6. If no existing plan is suitable, select Create New and follow the instructions in . Note that if you create a new backup plan, it may take some time before it becomes active and is able to be selected. Once the new backup plan becomes available, select it and proceed.

  7. Select Continue.

  8. In the window displayed, type a meaningful name for your new backup and use the toggle switch to choose between Full backup and Incremental backup.

  9. Then click Create Backup.

  10. Once the backup is complete, the STATUS LOG window displays, detailing the status of the backup and if there were any errors.
