When you schedule an export, you automate the export to occur at a pre-set date, time, and location.
To schedule an export, in the shortcuts section of the Home page , click Export/Import (Tools section), then click Schedule Export. The Scheduled Export window opens. Click Schedule.
Follow the wizard to schedule an export.
Wizard Step1. Choose the type of export
Click the arrow in the Sites list, and choose one of the following.
Wizard Step2. Enter the export Schedule information
Important: You may want to schedule a daily export for premium sites, demanding applications, or volatile data entities.
Select any one of the options in the Frequency field.
Important: If you select a value in the Day of Month field that is not common to all the months, the export fails to run as scheduled on certain months.
For example, if you select 31
, no export will be initiated on months that contain 30
or 28
days.
Wizard Step3. Enter FTP information
Important: If you leave the field blank or the specified directory does not exist, the export fails and an email message containing the error is sent to you.
wizard Step4. Enter miscellaneous information
Important: Various file systems and FTP server utilities have limits on the file size they can handle. If the size of your export file exceeds the file management threshold of the file system or the FTP server utility on your export server, the file is split into multiple files before continuing with the export operation.
The split files follow the naming convention as given below:
<exportfilename.tar.gz>
<exportfilename.1.tar.gz>
<exportfilename.2.tar.gz>
where exportfilename is the name of your export file.
The list of scheduled exports is updated.
