Destination Connector

A destination connector defines where Plakar Control Plane can restore backup data. Once a destination connector is created, its details page provides a Dashboard tab with a Test Connection action.

Use Test Connection to verify that Plakar Control Plane can connect to the destination using the provided configuration and credentials.

If the connection test fails, check the connector configuration and credentials, then run the test again. Once the connection test succeeds, restore actions become available from the dashboard:

• Create Restore - create a restore task to this destination

Operations in Plakar Control Plane are managed by the scheduler. A task can be created as a one-off operation or attached to a schedule so that it runs repeatedly.

One-off tasks are useful when you want to run an operation immediately and do not need it to repeat. Scheduled tasks are useful when you want Plakar Control Plane to run an operation on a regular basis.

See the scheduling documentation for details on creating and managing schedules.

A restore task restores backup data from a store connector to this destination. When creating a restore task from the destination connector, you must select the store connector that contains the backup data to restore. You can also select the snapshot to restore. If no snapshot is selected, Plakar Control Plane restores the latest available snapshot.

You can also add a label to the task. See the scheduling documentation for more details on using labels. A restore task can be started immediately as a one-off task, or attached to a schedule if you want the restore to run repeatedly.

Once the task has been created, you can follow its progress from the jobs history page. This page shows the task status and progress, and also allows you to cancel a running task when needed.
