Manual backup

Last Updated : May 30, 2024 |

Use the application backup command to start the backup process manually. The application backup command creates a backup for Avaya Hybrid Cloud Gateway database and configuration files. In a cluster environment, you can use the application backup command on any of the nodes and start a backup process for all nodes in the cluster.

A non-root user with sudo privileges can use the application backup command.

Note:

This topic is not applicable if you upgrade Avaya Hybrid Cloud Gateway to version 1.0.5 or later. For guidance, contact Avaya Cloud Operations.
