Sending backup file to a server Example

Sending backup file to a server Example

The example shows how an administrator can verify system backup configuration and the connection to the backup server.

To send a backup file to a server:
  1. In the CLI console, enter the following commands:

    diagnose debug enable

    diagnose test application wad 1000

    ....

    ....

    Process [13]: type=secret-approval(14) index=0 pid=1080 state=running

    diagnosis=yes debug=enable valgrind=supported/disabled

  2. Find the process with the type secret-approval and the index.

    In the example above, the process type is 14 and index is 0.

  3. Generate the diagnosis process using 2<process type><index>.

    In the example above, the diagnosis process is 21400.

  4. Enter the following command:

    diagnose test application wad 21400

    Set diagnosis process: type=secret-approval index=0 pid=1080

  5. Enter the following command:

    diagnose test application wad

    WAD process 1080 test usage:

    ....

    701: Test sending file using backup config

  6. Enter the following command:

    diagnose test application wad 701

    Sending backup to server using system.backup settings manually.

    Finished sending backup to server. Check to see if backup file was successfully uploaded.

    Additionally, you can check System Events in Log & Report > Events to determine whether the system configuration backup process was successful.
