• Full Backup: By default, a full backup is run once a week to back up 

the entire database, configuration files, and the file system metadata 

dump file.

• Partial Backup: By default, a partial backup is run on all other days 

of the week that the full backup is not run. This backup includes 

database journals, configuration files, and file system journal files.

• Rebuild Policy: This scheduled event rebuilds the internal candidate 

lists (for storing, truncation, and relocation) by scanning the file 

system for files that need to be stored.

Each of these events initially has a default schedule, but you can 

configure the schedules to suit your system needs.

The procedure for viewing an event's existing schedule is the same 

regardless of the event type.

From the StorNext Home Page, select Schedule Events from the 

Admin menu. The Feature Schedules screen appears.

Select an event type:
• Clean  Info
• Clean Versions
• Full  Backup
• Partial  Backup
• Rebuild Policy

Click Configure. The Feature Schedules screen displays the selected 

event type and any existing schedules.

Click Close when you are finished viewing the schedule. (You can 

also click Back to return to the previous screen.)

The Scheduler does not dynamically update when dates and 

times are changed significantly from the current setting. You 

must reboot the system for the Scheduler to pick up the 

changes.
