Import/Export the Backup Agent Configuration as Template

This article describes how you can use MSP360 (CloudBerry) Backup CLI to import and/or export your Backup Agent configuration as a template (for example, when you need to apply an existing Backup Agent configuration to a new MSP360 (CloudBerry) Backup instance).

Export Template

Execute the exportConfig command with the "-f" parameter to save your MSP360 (CloudBerry) Backup template to a specified location:

C:\Program Files\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup>cbb exportConfig -f "C:\Config\config.cbbconfiguration"

Ensure that the specified directory exists before executing this command. This command will not be able to overwrite an existing file and specifying such a file will result in an error.

Optionally, you can specify the following parameter to remove all encryption passwords that were specified for your backup plans from the created template file.

• -rp Removes all encryption passwords from the template file.

Without specifying this parameter, you will be required to enter these passwords to be able to import template that has any encryption passwords stored in it. In case you want to include encription password to the backup / restore plans into the exported template package, specify the following parameter:

• -ip yes Includes encription passwords to the exported template.

Import Template

Execute the importConfig command with the "-f" parameter to import a template from a specified file:

C:\Program Files\CloudBerryLab\CloudBerry Backup>cbb importConfig -f "C:\Config\config.cbbconfiguration"

Please ensure that the specified file exists before executing this command.

When importing a template made from a MSP360 (CloudBerry) Backup instance installed on another computer, you can specify the following parameter to ensure that imported storage accounts will store backups in a different directory than the one used by storage accounts on another computer.

• -m Replaces the backup prefix in imported storage accounts with the current machine name.

Listing Backup Prefixes

You can find out which backup prefixes are available for a specific account by executing the prefixes command with the "-account" parameter as follows.

cbb prefixes -account "accountName"

See Restore from Another Computer for more information about using backup prefixes.
