Active Backup for Business - Linux

[Mike R]

To manually start a backup on a linux machine the command line tool has to be started and the SSL certificate has to still be the same as when it was last run.
I fuk around enought to change the certificate regularly, so the tool will say it's connected when it's not - dunno why, don't care.
To reconnect, open a terminal and type:

Code: Select all

sudo abb-cli -r

Now you should see a green "connected" dot next to the server on your NAS page.
Click on the server under the "Linux" tab, then on the "tasks" tab select the corresponding task, and the "backup" button should now be active.
Click and wait for the whirriing to stop.
