Add Destination​

To create a new destination run the following command:

opencli backup-destination create <HOSTNAME> <PASSWORD_FOR_KEY_FILE> <PORT> <USER> <PATH_TO_SSH_KEY_FILE> <STORAGE_PERCENTAGE>

Example:

opencli backup-destination create 15.19.90.29 strongpass 22 root /root/.ssh/id_rsa 85

Edit Destination​

To edit destination configuration run the following command:

opencli backup-destination edit <ID> <HOSTNAME> <PASSWORD_FOR_KEY_FILE> <PORT> <USER> <PATH_TO_SSH_KEY_FILE> <STORAGE_PERCENTAGE>

Example:

opencli backup-destination edit 241 15.19.90.29 strongpass 22 root /root/.ssh/id_rsa 85

Destination  ID: '241' edited successfully!
Previous destination configuration:
{
  "hostname": "18.19.90.29",
  "password": "pass222",
  "ssh_port": 22,
  "ssh_user": "new_ssh_user",
  "ssh_key_path": "/root/.ssh/id_rsa",
  "storage_limit": "100"
}
New destination configuration:
{
  "hostname": "15.19.90.29",
  "password": "strongpass",
  "ssh_port": 22,
  "ssh_user": "root",
  "ssh_key_path": "/root/.ssh/id_rsa",

}

Delete Destination​

To delete a destination run the following command:

opencli backup-destination delete <ID>
TIP

Destination can not be deleted if it is used by any backup job.

Validate Destination​

To validate a destination run the following command:

opencli backup-destination validate <ID>

Command will test;

  • if ssh key exists and its permissions
  • ssh connection to the destination server
  • check if destination folder exists
  • check permissions and owner for destination folder
  • check available disk space on destination and compare it with storage limit

Examples:

opencli backup-destination validate 2144
Validating SSH connection with the destination, running command: 'ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa [email protected] -p 22'
SSH connection successful.
Destination directory /root/backup on the remote server is owned by root user.
Disk usage on remote destination is over the storage limit (70%) for /root/backup. Backups jobs will not run!

opencli backup-destination validate 2145
Validating SSH connection with the destination, running command: 'ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa [email protected] -p 22'
SSH connection successful.
Destination directory /root/backup on the remote server is owned by root user.
Disk space on remote destination is below the storage limit (85%) for /root/backup. Backups can run without a problem.
opencli backup-destination validate 1
Validating SSH connection with the destination, running command: 'ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa [email protected] -p 202'
ssh: connect to host 18.19.90.29 port 202: Connection refused
Validation failed! SSH connection failed or timed out.
SSH Connection Status: 255
