The Management Server must be running when a backup is performed. |
The command-line tool ssh-mgmt-backup is located in <server-root>/server/sbin
(by default /opt/ssh-mgmt/server/sbin
).
The command syntax is:
ssh-mgmt-backup [options]
The following options are available:
-d, --dir=DIR
Directory where the backup archive file is stored. Default: the current working directory.
-n, --name=FILENAME
Name of the backup archive file. The filename will be processed as a string passed to
strftime(3)
to substitute the date and time values. Default:ssh-mgmt-backup-%Y%m%d%H%M.mbk
(i.e.,ssh-mgmt-backup-YYMMDDHHMM.mbk
). The time in the file name is in UTC.-f, --force
Forces overwriting the backup archive file if it exists. Default: do not overwrite if file exists.
-t, --timeout=HOURS
Exits with an error after
HOURS
if not complete. Default: 23 hours.
Example commands:
ssh-mgmt-backup
Creates a backup archive named
ssh-mgmt-backup-YYMMDDHHMM.mbk
in the current working directory, whereYYMMDDHHMM
indicates the current date and time.ssh-mgmt-backup -d /tmp -n ssh-mgmt-backup.mbk -f -t 1
Creates a backup archive named
ssh-mgmt-backup.mbk
in the/tmp
directory, overwriting any file that previously existed at that location, and exiting with an error if the backup process has not completed within an hour.
