Manage the Backup Daemon

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.

When you deploy Ops Manager with high availability, you must run at least one Backup Daemon on a server.

Use the following commands to start, stop, restart, or check the status of the Backup Daemon.

Commands

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

Start the Backup Daemon

sudo systemctl start mongodb-mms-backup-daemon

Stop the Backup Daemon

sudo systemctl stop mongodb-mms-backup-daemon

Restart the Backup Daemon

sudo systemctl restart mongodb-mms-backup-daemon

Check the Status of the Backup Daemon

sudo systemctl status mongodb-mms-backup-daemon
