Start and Stop the Backup Daemon
On this page
The Ops Manager Application manages backups. To ensure high availability of backups, deploy sufficient number of Ops Manager hosts with a load balancer. To learn how to deploy Ops Manager with high availability, see Configure a Highly Available Ops Manager Application.
Even though we recommend that you deploy Ops Manager with high availability, you must run at least one Backup Daemon on a server.
The following procedure demonstrates how to start and stop the Backup Daemon on a server.
Procedure
Start the Backup Daemon:
/etc/init.d/mongodb-mms-backup-daemon start Stop the Backup Daemon:
/etc/init.d/mongodb-mms-backup-daemon stop Restart the Backup Daemon:
/etc/init.d/mongodb-mms-backup-daemon restart Check the status of the Backup Daemon:
/etc/init.d/mongodb-mms-backup-daemon status
