Set Up Recurring NSX Intelligence Backups

Using the NSX Manager user interface, you can set up an automated schedule to back up your NSX Intelligence appliance configuration files.

Recurring backups help ensure that you have up-to-date backups to restore your NSX Intelligence appliance to a most recent stable state when it becomes inoperable.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have configured a backup file server. See Configure NSX Intelligence Backups.

Procedure

1. From your browser, log in with enterprise administrator privileges to an NSX Manager at https://<nsx-manager-ip-address>.
2. Select System > Backup & Restore.
3. In the NSX Intelligence Configuration pane, under Schedule, click Edit.
4. In the Schedule Recurring Backup dialog box, click the Recurring Backup toggle.
5. In the Frequency text box, enter the backup frequency interval in minutes.
   The minimum value is every 5 minutes and the maximum value is 60 minutes.
6. Click Save.
   In the NSX Intelligence Configuration pane, the Enabled indicator next to Schedule is displayed. The value under Schedule is updated with the backup frequency that you had specified. For example, Every 10 minutes.
