Steps to Change IP Address of BDR Server for Configured Backups from BDRSuite
KB ID: 115110
Introduction:
This knowledge base article provides a step-by-step guide on changing the IP address of the Backup Server for backups that are already configured from BDRSuite Clients.
When a user needs to update the IP address of the Backup Server in the BDRSuite Client, there is currently no option available in the client console for jobs that are already configured.
Follow the steps below to update the new IP address of the Backup Server for previously configured jobs in the BDRSuite Client.
Step 1: Stop BDRSuite Services on the Client Machine
- Open "Services.msc."
- Stop BDRSuite Services.
Step 2: Open Command Prompt and Execute Command
- Open a Command Prompt on your client machine.
- Navigate to the BDRSuite installation location.
- Execute the following command to change the backup server IP for your Vembu Clients:
bin\VembuBackupClient.exe MigrateServerName <old_server_name or ip> <new_server_name or ip> <backup_name>
cd "Program Files\Vembu\VembuImageBackup\"
bin\VembuImageBackup.exe MigrateServerName 192.168.102.138 192.168.103.117 imgbkup1 imgbkup2
- In the above commands, for the `<new_server_name or ip>`, you can use the HostName instead of the IP Address.
Step 3: Start BDRSuite Services
- Start the BDRSuite Services from "Services.msc."
