Removing a Remote Backup Server
Use the Remove a Remote Backup Server option to remove servers defined using
the Add or Change List of Remote Backup Servers option.

prevents remote backup options for this server from appearing on the SMIT menus
when you select backup, list, verify, or restore options.
To remove a server from the client:
1. From the Client Options menu, select Remove a Remote Backup Server.
Note: From the command line, type smit sb_ucfgremserver.
2. Select a server from the list of server hostnames currently defined.
3. Confirm your choice when asked to do so. This removes the selected server
from the list.
Remote Commands Access for use with Pull Backups
The Remote Command Access Options are used to configure a backup client. This
enables a server to remotely initiate a backups (also called a “pull backup.”
For example, the server contacts the client to start the backup. In response, the
client initiates the backup and sends data to the server. The server is actually
“pulling” the backup operation from the client.
Using pull backups lets you initiate and control backup operations from a single
location. You may also automate this backup management using the SysBack
Scheduling and Scripting functions described in Chapter 20, “Scheduled Backups
and Scripts”, on page 20-1.
Pull backups require Remote Services Configuration and Remote Command Access
Configuration. The Remote Services Configuration sends data across the network
to the backup server. The Remote Command Access allows the server to initiate
the pull backup.
The server that initiates the pull backup does not need to be the server where data
is sent. For example, you can configure Remote Service between Machine A, the
client, and Machine B, the backup server receiving the backup, and configure
Remote Command Access between Machine A, the client, and Machine C, the
backup initiation server.
To configure Remote Command Access:
1. Select Remote Command Access.
Note: From a command line, type smit sb_acces.
