Deployment Guide

To store backups to an FTP server, the FTP client must support SFTP on port 22.
According to backup requirements of the organization, backups can be downloaded in the following ways:
● Manually
● Through automated script
● Through the organization's approved backup solution
To download backups using the organization's backup solution, obtain detailed instructions from your backup solution vendor.
NOTE:
The Dell Server is based on Linux Debian Ubuntu x64.
Log on to the Dell Server as dellsupport, and use the sudo command to configure your backup solution:
sudo <instructions from backup solution vendor>
Back up contents of the following folders:
/backup (required)
/certificates (strongly recommended)
/support (optional)
When the sudo process is complete, type exit and press Enter until the login prompt displays.
