Specifying Monthly Schedule

To create a monthly schedule for the backup policy, at the Schedule step of the wizard, do the following:

Set the Monthly schedule toggle to On and click Edit Monthly Settings.
In the Create monthly schedule section, select months when the backup policy will create namespace backups.
Use the Create restore point at and Run on drop-down lists to schedule a specific time and day for the backup policy to run.

Note

If you have selected a specific time for the backup policy to run at the Weekly schedule section of the Schedule step of the wizard, you will not be able to change the time for the monthly schedule unless you select the On Day option from the Run on drop-down list.

If you select the On day option, harmonized scheduling cannot be guaranteed.

In the Monthly retention section, specify the number of days (or months) for which you want to keep restore points in a backup chain.

If a restore point is older than the specified time limit, Veeam Backup for AWS removes the restore point from the chain. For more information, see Redshift Serverless Backup Retention.

To save changes made to the backup policy settings, click Apply.
