Configuration Tool Parameters

--help

Shows the list of tool parameters.

--show-config

Shows configuration parameters.

--wizard

Starts the wizard to configure the plug-in settings. The wizard edits the Veeam Plug-In configuration file (veeam_config.xml) or creates a new one if the configuration file was removed from the /opt/veeam/VeeamPluginforSAPMaxDB directory on the machine where Veeam Plug-In is installed.

--set-credentials <"serv\username"> <password>

Specifies credentials to log in to the Veeam Backup & Replication server.

--set-host <hostname>

Specifies the IP address or hostname of the Veeam Backup & Replication server.

--set-port <port_number>

Specifies a port number that will be used to communicate with the Veeam Backup & Replication server.

--set-repository

Launches a wizard to select a backup repository. A backup repository is selected from repositories which are available in the connected Veeam Backup & Replication instance.

--set-backup-for-restore

[For System Copy] Specifies the backup that will be used for restore operations. You can use this parameter if you want to restore a database to another server or to restore a database from a backup copy.

When you run the SapBackintConfigTool command with this parameter, Veeam Plug-In will prompt you to select an authentication method to access a backup created for the original server and then select the backup from which you want to restore a database.

For more information, see Restore to Another Server.

--map-backup

Maps the imported backup.

--set-force-delete

Deletes backup files after specified days.

--promote-backup-copy-to-primary

Maps the imported backup copy to a regular Veeam Plug-In backup chain.

--set-throttling

Specifies network traffic throttling. For more information, see Configuring Performance Throttling.

--disable-fingerprint-confirmation

Use the --disable-fingerprint-confirmation parameter only with the --set-credentials parameter.

Disables a step of the Veeam Plug-In configuration process intended to confirm the first connection to the Veeam Backup & Replication server. During this step, Veeam Plug-In provides a fingerprint for the server for the user review.

--show-preferred-networks

Shows the list of preferred networks set for Veeam Plug-In data traffic to the remote backup repository.

The list shows set preferred networks in descending order of priority. If the list is empty, no networks are set as preferred and Veeam Plug-In routes data traffic to the preferred networks set in Veeam Backup & Replication. For more information, see Specifying Preferred Networks for Veeam Plug-Ins.

--add-preferred-network <network_IP_address> <position_in_list>

Adds a network to the list of preferred networks for Veeam Plug-In data traffic to the remote backup repository.

To select to which network Veeam Plug-In connects first, you can set the order number of the network in the list. For more information, see Specifying Preferred Networks for Veeam Plug-Ins.

--remove-preferred-network <network_IP_address>

Removes a specified network from the list of preferred networks for Veeam Plug-In data traffic to the remote backup repository.
