What does "partial" mean in the context of schema exports?

RADSr — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 16:49:54 GMT

I'm creating a backup of my environment. I select all the schemae ( this applies to both business and physical ) and select export. The generated ZIP file is suffixed with: partial_30_01_2023.zip

For the physical I have included schedules.

So what is "partial" about it? I want to make sure I'm not losing anything if I need to restore from these backups.

Hi @RADSr - I had someone on the team confirm that they should be full schemas. We're adding a jira to remove this prefix.

"Partial" is a bit of a misnomer. What it really means is that it is not a complete set of tenant objects, it is only a partial set of objects. Whether you choose one schema or all schemas, it will still say partial in the name.
