The sleep interval defines the amount of time in seconds between incremental backups. Define a time that meets your site's backup requirements.

1. Open a terminal session on the STA server, and log in as the Oracle user.
2. Use the -i command to define the interval time in seconds. Valid values are 1 to 86399. The default is 300.

   For example, to take an incremental backup every 30 minutes:

   $ staservadm -i 1800
   

3. If you want the new settings to take effect immediately, you must stop and restart the STA services daemon. See Services Daemon - Stop, Restart, or Show Status.
