Command mode

Command mode is primarily intended for use in scripts, for example, for automated deployment of SqlBak agents.

To display the list of available commands, enter:

sqlbak --help

You can also view the list of parameters for each command by appending --help after the command name. For example:

sqlbak log-settings --help

After the command, you can list various parameters. Typically, there is one control flag (a parameter without a value) and one or more value parameters. For example:

sqlbak source --add --source-type=mysql --load-from-file=/path/to/mysql/connection.json

In this example:

--add is the control flag, indicating that a new source should be added.
--source-type and --load-from-file are parameters that provide values for the operation.

Available commands:

about – Displays information about the application
state – Manages the connection between the backup agent and SqlBak.com
source – Manages database connection settings
update – Updates server info known to SqlBak about the backup agent
security – Manages application security settings
log-settings – Manages additional application logging
web-proxy-settings – Manages web proxy settings
