 Backup Agent and Backup manager use tcp port 1167 by default for data synchronization. You can change this port to a different value. You MUST ensure your hardware/software firewall have this port open.

 


On Authorized Server Backup Managers tab, you must authorize a particular Backup manager to interact with this agent by obtaining an encrypted key from Backup manager. To add the key, you need to know the ip address or url of Backup manager, provided by In2net Network Inc.

Click on [ADD...] button.

 
 

The following dialog box will appear. you may enter the protocol, Server backup manager's ip address and the filename.

a) Protocol: Select HTTPS
b) Idera Server Backup Manager: r1cdp01.in2net.com  (url or ip address provided by In2net)
c) Filename: The encrypted key is stored as a file in your server. You need to give this file a name. We use sbm.key in this example.

Click OK when done.




If you have added the server key successfully, you should see a screen like the following.


 

if you see the following error message instead, you should check the following:

a) Make sure the url or ip address of the Server backup manager is correct.
