Backup Profile
A Backup Profile is a fundamental element for configuring backups. It defines what data is backed up, the backup schedule, and the retention settings.
A backup profile for each of configuration database (config db) and report database (report db) will be created for you in Motadata AIOps by default. A Storage Profile will be mapped to these Backup Profiles by default with the Backup Storage Destination specified as Local. You do not need to create a new Backup Profile. All the use cases will be served with the existing Backup Profiles already created for you.
Here's what you can do with Backup Profiles:
Schedule: Edit backup schedules, specifying when and how often backups should be created.
Backup Retention: Determine how long backups are retained in the system. This ensures that older backups are automatically removed to save storage space.
Map Storage Profiles: You can map Storage Profiles to Backup Profiles to specify an external location for backup storage apart from the local backup.
Notify relevant teams: You can send messages to relevant teams via Email and SMS to notify them about a successfull backup run.
