Automate snapshots to the cloud - User Guide

In order to be able to upload to the cloud, the Cloud app needs to be registered to Edge2Cloud and status needs to be ‘Connected’.

Select App Launcher icon located on the upper left

Select Jobs tile under Advanced applications

Select Create New in the jobs menu

Once select, a Create New Job popup will appear.

Add a name for the job

Then add one of the following funcs depending if you would like to push rolling or permanent snapshots to the cloud.

For rolling, use this, but replace ‘demo’ with the project name: finProjBackup(@p:demo).finEdge2CloudCreateRollingBackupSync()

For permanent, use this, but replace ‘demo’ with the project name: finProjBackup(@p:demo).finEdge2CloudCreatePermanentBackupSync()

Rolling (recommended) - overwrites the eldest rolling backup.

Edge2Cloud Stores 3 rolling backups per device (FIN instance)

The oldest rolling backup is automated deleted when the fourth backup is created

Permanent - does not overwrite any permanent backups

Edge2Cloud stores five backups; if a sixth backup is created, an error will be thrown as permanent backups cannot be automatically overwritten

Then select the desired frequency to upload to the cloud.

Once done, apply and that’s it. It will now run based on the frequency and upload a snapshot to the cloud.
