526 - How to adjust the hourly AccountServer database backup and StorageServer tasks

The AccountServer database backup, and other tasks, both on the AccountServer and StorageServer, can be set to run x minutes past the hour. The default value is 30 min, but is configurable between 0 and 59 minutes.

To adjust the offset, edit the settings.xml file in the AS_Service and/or the SS_Service folder and edit the following entry (this example adjusts it to 25 minutes):

<Minutetorunhourlytasks default="30">25</Minutetorunhourlytasks>

The following tasks will run on the Master AS:

• Back up AS DB and settings to Slave AS and SS's
• Refresh settings of all Accounts on their respective SS's
• Refresh settings of all Accounts on catch-up SS's
• The following will run once daily after midnight (offset by the setting specified above):
  • Trim the DB tables (according to retention setting)
  • Disable expired Groups
  • Disable expired Accounts
  • Delete old log files
  • Update CRL (if enabled)

The following tasks will run on each SS:

• Back up settings to MS
• Update system file cache limit
• Delete all expired Accounts in the ToDelete folder
• The following will run once daily after midnight (offset by the setting specified above):
  • Delete old log files
  • Mark all Account folders as hidden if their Settings.txt files haven't been modified in the last 30 days (to help identify orphan GUID folders).
