Get Started with CLI

As of Backup 4.0 for macOS, a new command line interface (CLI 2.0) is introduced. CLI 2.0 is a new command line interface solution that has enhanced functionality that covers the new backup format requirements.

To start using the CLI, launch Terminal and navigate to the application folder:

cd /opt/local/Cloudberry\ Backup/bin

Now you can use either CLI 2.0 or classic CLI commands depending on the action you plan to perform.
