Transferring a backup via scp to port 2222 on remote server

[lyric]

Hello,

I have a backup server with ssh on port 2222. There's no way to change the port number. How can I (and, actually, can I) to use scp for transferring my backups by DA?

I see just Remote Host, Remote User, Remote Password and Remote Path fields in Use remote transfer section. I tried to write IPORT to Remote Host field but this didn't help.

What page are you on? The backup scripts only support ftp not scp or ssh.

Admin level -> System backup -> Remote transfer section

I think you would have to edit /usr/local/sysbk/conf.sysbk

Then change:

SCP="/usr/bin/scp"

to

SCP="/usr/bin/scp -P 2220"

Change 2220 to whatever the scp port is...then I think it would work.

Don't rely on System Backup (sysbk) unless you've tested a restore and know you can do it, since there's no built in restore function.

I would suggest adding a feature request for scp support to admin backup/restores

You might want to prepare a custom script for this
