NB: Settings should not be changed whilst a backup or restore are running. Wait for these to complete before implementing changes.
Enabling Remote Management
Run the following command from /usr/share/a5backup as super user:
a5backup-cli :remote enable [-port #] [-ip {binding address}] [-sp enable|disable] [-custom enable|disable] [-user ] [-pass ]
Note:
- -sp sets “Allow SP (Storage Platform) Controlled access”
- -custom sets “Allow custom access”
Example
remote enable -port 9093 -ip 192.168.0.1 -sp enable -custom enable -user admin -pass password01- If the port or IP bindings are the defaults of 9091 and “All available IP addresses”, omit these from the command.
- If the port or IP bindings are the defaults of 9091 and “All available IP addresses”, omit these from the command.
- After entering the settings, a “Task Tracking ID” will be reported.
- Restart the MOUNT10 service using the command “service a5backupd restart”. The service will restart with the new settings applied.
