Remote backup utility

Last Updated : Oct 22, 2021 |

The remote backup utility schedules and takes the backup of an AE Services server to a remote machine.

The remote backup utility works only if the remote machine has a Linux OS.

As a root user on the AE Services server, run the following command for the remote backup utility configuration:

sh /opt/mvap/bin/scheduleRemoteBackUp -i <IP> -u <USERNAME> -p <PASSWORD> -f <D|W|M> -d <Backup Directory>

Once the remote backup utility is configured, you can check the status whether the AE Services backup is scheduled or not by running the following command:

sh /opt/mvap/bin/scheduleRemoteBackUp status

The following table provides the description of parameters:

Once the validation of IP is completed, remote backup utility creates a password less connection for transferring the backup to the remote machine.

If the backup fails, AE Services generates an alarm. For more information, see AEServices SNMP traps Alarm Codes and Messages - Part 4.
