Unable to Create BackupSchedule

[tmallikarjuna]

Hi,

I am unable to create backupschedule as per the example provided here: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/gridscale/gridscale/latest/docs/resources/backupschedule

I get the below output:

Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
  + create

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # gridscale_backupschedule.foo will be created
  + resource "gridscale_backupschedule" "foo" {
      + active                = true
      + change_time           = (known after apply)
      + create_time           = (known after apply)
      + id                    = (known after apply)
      + keep_backups          = 1
      + name                  = "backupschedule"
      + next_runtime          = "2025-12-30 15:04:05"
      + next_runtime_computed = (known after apply)
      + run_interval          = 60
      + status                = (known after apply)
      + storage_backups       = (known after apply)
      + storage_uuid          = (known after apply)

      + timeouts {
          + create = "10m"
        }
    }

  # gridscale_storage.foo will be created
  + resource "gridscale_storage" "foo" {
      + capacity           = 1
      + change_time        = (known after apply)
      + create_time        = (known after apply)
      + current_price      = (known after apply)
      + id                 = (known after apply)
      + last_used_template = (known after apply)
      + license_product_no = (known after apply)
      + location_country   = (known after apply)
      + location_iata      = (known after apply)
      + location_name      = (known after apply)
      + location_uuid      = (known after apply)
      + name               = "storage"
      + parent_uuid        = (known after apply)
      + status             = (known after apply)
      + storage_type       = "storage"
      + usage_in_minutes   = (known after apply)
    }

Plan: 2 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.

Do you want to perform these actions?
  Terraform will perform the actions described above.
  Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.

  Enter a value: yes

gridscale_storage.foo: Creating...
gridscale_storage.foo: Creation complete after 6s [id=04c3a8e5-3643-4fea-a92d-906e343be5bb]

Let me know if you need any more details.

Hmm, looks like everything is OK with TF here but the request fails because of permissions. Investigating…

Hi bkircher,

I have all permissions on GridScale. I can create all resources except this. I do have "Write" access level in my profile.

Hey @tmallikarjuna ! I believe you are not allowed to create a backup schedule because that feature is not enabled for your account. In case of any question on how to get backup schedules enabled for your account you can always reach out to support at hello@gridscale.io .

As for the error message, this really could use some improvement. I will create a bug ticket against our public API to get a more helpful message here.

I'll close this issue as it was answered by @bkircher.
