Changing the automated XML database backup settings
The backup schedule is specified during the initial installation. This procedure shows how to change that schedule after the initial installation.
About this task
Backups occur when they are scheduled. Processes (such as publishing, or loading or upgrading a publication) can potentially collide with a scheduled backup process. Therefore, you can define an allowable time window to delay the process from starting to avoid a collision with the database backup. You define this time window in minutes by specifying a value for the pub.disable.timer config file entry (from the Content Delivery landing page, click ), and ensure that the value reflects a quiet time before the process can start. For example, if the estimated process time is 2 hours, you would enter a value of 120 (the default time of 60 minutes multiplied by the process time of 2 hours in minutes).
