Configure Scheduled Backups for an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance
You can control when the backups for an Oracle Java Cloud Service occur, how they are stored, and how long they are retained.
By default, backups are stored in the location that you specified when you enabled backups on a service instance, but you can change this storage location. If the storage user name and password that you originally specified for this service instance have changed, backups will fail until you update this configuration. Oracle Java Cloud Service automatically disables backups on a service instance if consecutive failures occur.
Before updating your backup configuration, you must enable backups on the service instance if you did not enable backups when you originally created the service instance. Similarly, if Oracle Java Cloud Service disabled backups on the service instance, you must enable backups before updating the configuration.
Some configuration options vary depending on the type of region in which your service instance was created. See Identify the Cloud Infrastructure Used by a Service Instance.
After updating the backup configuration, Oracle recommends that you create an on-demand backup to verify your configuration.
