550 - Server Edition Linux Agent remote management setup using command-line

Background

If installed to a Linux environment with a GUI, the remote management features can be configured from Tools > Options and Settings > Remote Access.

Note: Settings should not be changed while a backup or restore is running. Wait for these to complete before implementing changes.

Enabling remote management

Run the following command from /usr/share/a5backup as a super user:

a5backup-cli :remote enable [-port #] [-ip {binding address}] [-sp enable|disable] [-custom enable|disable] [-user {name}] [-pass {password}]

Note:

• -sp sets "Allow SP (Storage Platform) Controlled access"
• -custom sets "Allow custom access"

Example

1. 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.
   • 
2. After entering the settings, a "Task Tracking ID" will be reported.
3. Restart the Attix5 service using the command "service a5backupd restart". The service will restart with the new settings applied.

Disabling remote management

Run the following command from /usr/share/a5backup as superuser:

a5backup-cli :remote disable
