Importing Configuration

You can import the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX configuration from a file in the XML format to the configuration database. This may be useful, for example, if you have changed the product settings by editing a configuration file or want to apply configuration of another instance of Veeam Agent for IBM AIX to Veeam Agent installed on your machine.

Keep in mind that Veeam Agent for IBM AIX does not export passwords to an XML configuration file. When you import configuration, Veeam Agent will prompt you to enter the necessary passwords, for example, a password used to connect to the Veeam backup server and passwords for encrypted backups. Alternatively, you can specify passwords manually in the configuration file before importing configuration.

To import the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX configuration, use the following command:

veeamconfig config import --file <path>

where <path> is a path to the configuration file from which you want to import configuration.

For example:

user@srv01:~$ veeamconfig config import --file veeam/config.xml
