Database Connection
Available on databases backup type. Choose a database connection for this job.
You can find more details about database connections in the following Database Connections link.
Database Filters
Available on databases backup type.
All databases will be backed up unless a filter is created to include/exclude specific databases.
You may use more than one filter type per backup job which will be joined together with an AND or OR statement.
AND - when using an AND statement between two filters the conditions of BOTH filters must be met in order for a database to be included by the backup job.
OR - when using an OR statement between two filters the condition of EITHER filter should be met in order for a database to be included by the backup job.
Please note that if a database is excluded from a backup job, one snap will be deleted every job run. Which means that after the retaining number runs, that database will be left without any backups.
Examples:
All Databases: {acct01_db,acct02_db,acct03_db}
Filter A: Database Filter, Include: {acct01_db, acct02_db}
Filter B: Datbase Filter, Include: {acct01_db}
Filter C: Database Filter, Exclude: {acct02_db}
Creating a filter with the following filter type combinations will provide these results:
Filter A AND Filter B => Only {acct01_db} will be backed up.
Filter B OR Filter C => Only {acct01_db, acct03_db} will be backed up.
Filter A OR Filter B => Only {acct01_db, acct02_db} will be backed up.
Filter A AND Filter B AND Filter C => Only {acct01_db} will be backed up.
Filter A OR Filter B AND Filter C => Only {acct01_db, acct02_db} will be backed up.
