CLI Prerequisites

Account

Similar to its prerequisite counterpart in GUI systems, an account is needed to be able to login to AhsayOBM. A user may have been provded an account by their backup service provider (which can be a Paid or Tral account). If no account was given, then the user may create a free trial account.

Start AhsayOBM

To startup AhsayOBM and connect to AhsayCBS, you need to use the RunConfigurator.sh script to configure the backup server URL, port and proxy server settings (if applicable, see the Backup Server Settings section) and enter the login name and password.

# cd /usr/local/obm/bin
        # sh RunConfigurator.sh
        Startup Ahsay Online Backup Manager ...
        User Configuration file not found
        Create a new Configuration file at directory
        [/root/.obm/config]

Backup Server Settings

The Backup Server settings behavior is determined by the settings made by your backup service provider.

For users who already have an account, enter 2 for "Change Network Settings" to check if the details are already provided. If not, enter the details which should be obtained from your backup service provider.
