Schedule

Have a target back itself up on a schedule.

PocketBase runs the cron itself, in the process already serving the app, so there is nothing to install on the server.

Syntax

$ vela backup schedule                 # show the current schedule
$ vela backup schedule "0 3 * * *"     # every day at 03:00 UTC
$ vela backup schedule "0 3 * * *" --keep 14
$ vela backup schedule --off

Options

• --keep <n> - How many scheduled archives to keep, defaults to 7
• --off - Stop backing up automatically
• -t, --target <target> - Which copy of the app to act on, defaults to production
• --server <ssh> - Server this target runs on, recorded on first use

--keep prunes only the archives the schedule made. Ones from vela backup create are left alone.

A schedule is not yet disaster recovery

By default the archives are written to the same disk as the data they protect. Pair this with vela enable s3 --backups to send them somewhere else, or download them on a schedule of your own.
