public sealed class ExclusionWindow : IMessage<ExclusionWindow>, IEquatable<ExclusionWindow>, IDeepCloneable<ExclusionWindow>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Reference documentation and code samples for the Backup for GKE v1 API class ExclusionWindow.
Defines a time window during which no backup should
happen. All time and date are in UTC.
Required. Specifies duration of the window.
Duration must be >= 5 minutes and < (target RPO - 20 minutes).
Additional restrictions based on the recurrence type to allow some time for
backup to happen:
single_occurrence_date: no restriction, but UI may warn about this when
duration >= target RPO
daily window: duration < 24 hours
weekly window:
days of week includes all seven days of a week: duration < 24 hours
all other weekly window: duration < 168 hours (i.e., 24 * 7 hours)
