Usage Guidelines
The settings described here enable you to configure details of the remote server where the
backup is copied.
The transfer of backup on remote servers is performed through
the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP).

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.
