You can configure a subclient to back up and protect specific data in your Pinecone account at a particular time or frequency. You can define subclient contents at index or namespace level.
To create a user-defined subclient, do the following:
-
From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > AI & Analytics.
-
Click the Pinecone instance.
-
On the Subclients tab, click Add subclient.
-
In Subclient name, enter a name for the subclient.
-
From the Plan list, select a backup plan.
-
Under Backup content, click Add, and then Browse to select indexes to include.
-
Click Save.
Modify settings for a subclient
After you add a Pinecone subclient, you can modify its settings to change the backup plan, change the SLA, and modify the backup content.
Go to the Pinecone application
-
From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > AI & Analytics.
-
Click the Pinecone application.
-
On the Subclients tab, click the subclient.
Configure subclient-specific settings
Use these settings to control how Pinecone backups run for the subclient.
-
Number of data streams: You can update the number of streams to control concurrent transfer threads for backup and restore.
-
Backup plan: Select a different backup plan after you configure backups for Pinecone. For information about backup plan settings, see Backup Plans.
-
Content: You can either use rules to automatically include content or you can select specific objects.
-
Use rules (recommended): Define rules to automatically include indexes or namespaces based on naming patterns or other criteria. This approach is better for dynamic environments where new data is created regularly.
-
Select specific data: Choose individual indexes or namespaces to include in backups. Use this approach for smaller or static environments where the data set does not change frequently.
