Usage Guidelines

The settings described here enable you to configure details of the remote server where the backup is copied.
Note

Note

The details of the remote server are verified before configuring the remote parameters. If you specify a value for any one of the following, you must specify values for all the others:
  • remote-server-ip
  • remote-server-username
  • remote-server-password
  • remote-server-directory

If the four values have already been set, they are retained in the database. If you then modify any one of them, the other values are used.

The transfer of backup on remote servers is performed through the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP).
