After installing the Agent, the backup selection and scheduled backup time need to be set.
If your Linux or Unix machine has a GUI, you can use the Redstor Agent GUI to configure these. Alternatively, you can use remote management via the Storage Platform Console to perform the same configuration.
If you have no GUI and remote management is not an option, it is easiest to configure the Agent from command line.
- Install the Agent
- Cd to the installation directory /usr/share/a5backup
- To set the scheduled backup time, run the command:
sudo a5backup-cli :schedule setFor example:
sudo a5backup-cli :schedule set 19:00 - To add a path to the backup selection, run the command:
sudo a5backup-cli :selection includeFor example:
sudo a5backup-cli :selection include /home - To see the other backup selection options (such as deselect and exclude), run the command:
sudo a5backup-cli :selection
- Save the selection using:
sudo a5backup-cli :selection save
