Last Updated : Jul 01, 2021 |
Prolog information
You can configure, view, or remove the remote server connection settings used to take a full backup of the Avaya Analytics™ database.
Cluster Control Manager archive destination uses the remote server details for backups. Changing the remote server here overwrites it for Cluster Control Manager archive Destination.
Before you begin
SFTP is used to export backups and requires:
  • The external server to be accessible from the cluster
  • A user login credentials for the external server
  • Path to the location on the external server to store the backups
  • Read and write privileges for the user to the path location
  • Use of Port 22
Note:
Avaya Analytics™ does not manage the destination server. Therefore, Avaya Analytics™ does not enforce any retention policy for backups on this remote server.
