Edit Global Snapshot Schedule - Screenshots

Comment by Isabel Peters [ 10/Oct/16 ]

tony.sansone: My changes on the snapshot schedule introduce a means to set a global snapshot schedule rather than just being able to modify the schedule on an existing backup.
To be more specific:

Previously
The snapshot schedule was hardcoded so every new backup would have the same snapshot schedule by default (the default is Take a snapshot every 6 hours, keep that one for 2 days, keep a daily snapshot for 7 days, a weekly for 4 weeks and a monthly for 13 months).

Problem
This default was too aggressive for OpsManager and should also be configurable in cloud (we had no means to change the hardcoded default at all).

My Changes
The idea is to be able to change the default snapshot schedule prior to creating any backups. That modified default schedule will be applied to any newly created backup. To change the default schedule you will need to go to the Admin page then General -> Ops Manager Config -> Snapshot Schedule (Note this will be a new tab in the Ops Manager Config - it is currently nested under Miscellaneous). As an admin you will be able to modify the snapshot schedule which will then apply for any new backups.
