Configuring Backup settings in the command line
Configuring Backup settings in the command line
On the command line, you can configure Backup using the BackupDaysToLive, BackupSizeLimit, and BackupFolder settings in the general application settings.
You can edit the setting using command line options or a configuration file that contains all general application settings.
Backup settings
Setting |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
|
Time period for storing objects in the Backup storage (in days). After the specified time has elapsed, the application deletes the oldest backup copies of files. To remove the object retention limit, set 0. |
0–10000 0–unlimited retention. Default value: 30. |
|
Maximum Backup size in MB. When the maximum Backup storage size is reached, the application deletes the oldest backup copies of files. To remove the Backup size limit, set 0. |
0–999999 0–unlimited size. Default value: 0. |
|
Path to the Backup directory. You can specify a custom Backup storage directory that is different from the default directory. You can use directories on any device as the Backup storage. It is not recommended to assign directories that are located on remote devices, such as those mounted via the Samba and NFS protocols. If the specified directory does not exist or is unavailable, the application uses the default directory. |
Default value: /var/opt/kaspersky/kess/common/objects-backup/ Root privileges are required to access the default Backup storage directory. |
