Creating a remote server connection

Last Updated : Feb 26, 2021 |

Once the backup server has been configured, a remote server connection is required on the server to be backed up. In a network of servers, the remote connection s defined on the primary server.

Procedure

  1. In the Web Manager menu bar, click Solution.
  2. Click Solution Settings and select Remote Server.
  3. Click Add Remote Server.
  4. Enter a name that identifies the connections use.
  5. Set the Protocol to HTTPS, HTTP or SFTP as required.
    • These are the only protocols supported for backup/restore operations.

    • HTTP is only supported if the backup server has had HTTP enabled. See Enabling HTTP backup support.

  6. Set the Port to match the selected protocol. The default ports are not necessarily correct.
    • For HTTPS, set the port to 5443.

    • For HTTP, set the port to 8000.

    • For SFTP, set the port to 22.

  7. Set the Remote Path to /avaya/backup.
  8. For HTTP/HTTPS, no User Name or Password details are required. For SFTP, use the details of a Web Manager administrator account.
  9. Click Save.
  10. The new remote server connection is now shown in the list of remote servers. It can now be selected for backup and restore actions.
