Scheduled Tasks

#

Plakar Control Plane runs operations as tasks. There are four types of tasks, each requiring a different combination of apps. Any task can be run once as a one-off operation or attached to a schedule so that it repeats automatically.

Backup Task

#

A backup task stores backup data from a source app into a store app. It requires a source app and a store app.

Restore Task

#

A restore task restores data from a store app to a destination app. It requires a store app and a destination app. If no restore point is selected, Plakar Control Plane restores the latest available restore point.

Sync Task

#

A sync task copies backup data from one store app to another. It requires two store app. This is useful for replicating backups to a second location or a different storage tier.

Check Task

#

A check task verifies the integrity of data in a store app. It checks that the backup data can be read correctly and validates file MACs to make sure no corruption has occurred. It requires a store app. By default the entire store is checked, but you can select a specific restore point to check only that restore point.
