Advanced Settings

On Windows servers, you can access the advanced Agent settings through the SqlBak Agent Config App.

Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the application window to open the settings panel:

General: Test backup source connection before saving
When enabled, SqlBak automatically tests the database connection before saving it — helping detect authentication or network issues early.

Security:

Allow running system batch scripts on this server for a job
Allow running SQL scripts on this server for a job

Leave these unchecked if your jobs don’t require running batch scripts or SQL scripts.

Application Log:

Adjust log size and log level (e.g., Information, Debug, Trace).
You can download, send, or delete logs for troubleshooting.

Configuring Advanced Settings via Command Line

On Linux servers, advanced settings can be configured using command-line interface commands. The following commands are available:

security-settings – Configure script execution restrictions (see Script Execution Restrictions)
app-log – Configure application log settings (see Application Log)
