    Type

    Description

    backup_policy_name

    No

    string

    Backup policy name

    The name is a string of 1 to 64 characters consisting of letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). It cannot start with default.

    The default backup policy cannot be renamed.

    dict

    Details about the scheduling policy

    start_time

    No

    string

    Backup execution time (UTC), in the format of HH:mm

    You need to set the execution time to a full hour. You can set multiple execution times, and use commas (,) to separate one time from another. To set multiple backup execution times, enter them in ascending order by local time. For example, if your local time is 2 hours ahead of UTC and you want to perform backups at the local times 00:00, 02:00, and 04:00, set this parameter to 22:00,00:00,02:00 (UTC times) and time_zone to UTC+02:00.

    frequency

    No (Either this field or week_frequency must be specified.)

    integer

    Backup interval (1 to 14 days). Set either this parameter or week_frequency. If you set both, this parameter is used.

    week_frequency

    No (Either this field or frequency must be specified.)

    list<string>

    Defines on which days of each week backup jobs are executed. The value can be one or more of the following:

    SUN, MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT

    rentention_num

    No

    integer

    Number of retained backups. The value must be an integer from 2 to 14. If you set this parameter and rentention_day at the same time, this parameter is used.

    rentention_day

    No

    integer

    Retention days of backups. The value is an integer ranging from 2 to 99999. If you enter a floating point number, the number will be rounded down to the nearest integer when you send the request.

    remain_first_backup_of_curMonth

    No

    string

    Whether to retain the first backup in the current month

    • Y

    • N

    status

    No

    string

    Backup policy status

    • ON

    • OFF

    time_zone

    No

    string

    Time zone. The value is in the UTC+/-HH:mm format.

    This parameter specifies the time zone of the local time with the DST offset, for example, UTC+08:00 or UTC-02:00. If execution times are in different days after converting into UTC times, this parameter must be used with week_frequency and start_time.

  • Example request
