Defining Global Preferences - Backup Settings tab

Before creating a backup of a model, you must create a backup setting.

To create a backup setting:

Select File > Global Preferences. The Global Preferences window is displayed.
Click the Backup Settings tab.
Click '+'. A new row is added to the Backup settings table.
Specify these parameters:
name

The unique name of the backup setting.

max backup

The maximum number of backups for a model, that can be stored in the database. If the number of backup exceeds the specified limit, the backup with the earliest date and time is deleted.

cron expression
The string of 6 or 7 digits that defines when the backup process is triggered. See http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.x/tutorials/crontrigger.html .For example:
- 0 59 23 ? * * : The backup process is triggered at 23:59 everyday.
- 0 59 23 ? * SUN : The backup process is triggered at 23:59 every Sunday.
- 0 15 10 L * ? : The backup process is triggered at 10:15 on the last day of every month.
A cron expression generator is available online https://www.freeformatter.com/cron-expression-generator-quartz.html.

Note: A backup setting with a cron expression is only used in the automatic backup functionality.
Double click in the Enable column for the Backup Setting to enable/disable the setting for the automatic backup functionality.
Click OK. The backup setting is created.

Note: To delete a backup setting, select the required backup setting and click '-'. You cannot delete a backup setting, if a backup of the model with this setting exists.
