Update the Snapshot Schedule

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {PROJECT-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

PATCH /groups/{PROJECT-ID}/backupConfigs/{CLUSTER-ID}/snapshotSchedule

Request Parameters

Request Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Necessity	Description
PROJECT-ID	string	Required	Unique identifier for the project that holds the cluster with the snapshot schedule you want to update.
CLUSTER-ID	string	Required	Unique indentifier of the cluster whose snapshot schedule you want to update.

Request Query Parameters

The following query parameters are optional:

Name	Type	Necessity	Description	Default
pretty	boolean	Optional	Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.	false
envelope	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query. For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes: Name Description status HTTP response code envelope Expected response body	false

Request Body Parameters

Name	Type	Necessity	Description
clusterCheckpointIntervalMin	number	Optional	Number of minutes between successive cluster checkpoints. This only applies to sharded clusters. This number determines the granularity of point-in-time restores for sharded clusters. You can set a value of 15, 30, or 60. Important You may use checkpoints for clusters that run MongoDB with Feature Compatibility Version of 4.0 or earlier. Checkpoints were removed from MongoDB instances with FCV of 4.2 or later.
clusterId	string	Optional	Unique identifier of the cluster to which this backup configuration applies.
dailySnapshotRetentionDays	number	Optional	Number of days to retain daily snapshots. You can set a value between 1 and 365, inclusive. Note Setting dailySnapshotRetentionDays to 0 disables this rule.
fullIncrementalDayOfWeek	string	Optional	Day of the week when Cloud Manager takes a full snapshot. This ensures a recent complete backup. Cloud Manager sets the default value to a random weekday.
groupId	string	Optional	Unique identifier of the project that owns the backup configuration.
links	array of objects	Optional	One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. All links arrays in responses include at least one link called self. The relationships between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification.
monthlySnapshotRetentionMonths	number	Optional	Number of months to retain monthly snapshots. You can set a value between 1 and 36, inclusive. Note Setting monthlySnapshotRetentionMonths to 0 disables this rule.
snapshotIntervalHours	number	Optional	Number of hours between snapshots. You can set a value of 6, 8, 12, or 24.
snapshotRetentionDays	number	Optional	Number of days to keep recent snapshots. You can set a value between 2 and 5, inclusive.
weeklySnapshotRetentionWeeks	number	Optional	Number of weeks to retain weekly snapshots. You can set a value between 1 and 52, inclusive. Note Setting weeklySnapshotRetentionWeeks to 0 disables this rule.
