Backup Profile
A Backup Profile is a fundamental element for configuring backups. It defines what data is backed up and the retention settings. Essentially, there are two types of Backup profiles; namely, Configuration Database (ConfigDB) and Report Database (ReportDB) which can be created. By default, a ConfigDB profile will be created in Motadata AIOps. A Storage Profile will be mapped to these Backup Profiles.
Here's what you can do with Backup Profiles:
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.
