How to schedule automatic backups in teamcity?

We are using Teamcity 6.5.6 professional version, which gives me the option to run a backup but I do not see any option to schedule it to a particular time.

I am not sure if this version of teamcity even supports scheduled backups. If it is not possible through teamcity GUI, I wonder if there is any other option?

Could someone please help?

Thanks.

Solution

  • You could use the REST API to run the backup. We actually use TeamCity to run a scheduled build at midnight each day. That build makes a call to the rest api to do the backup.
