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.

/etc/init.d/mongodb-mms-backup-daemon start
/etc/init.d/mongodb-mms-backup-daemon stop
/etc/init.d/mongodb-mms-backup-daemon restart
/etc/init.d/mongodb-mms-backup-daemon status
sudo systemctl start mongodb-mms-backup-daemon
sudo systemctl stop mongodb-mms-backup-daemon
sudo systemctl restart mongodb-mms-backup-daemon
sudo systemctl status mongodb-mms-backup-daemon

To move jobs from a lost Backup server to another Backup server, see Move Jobs from a Lost Backup Daemon to another Backup Daemon.
