For security reasons, the Backup Agent accepts connections only from known Backup Managers. To authorize a Backup Manager to the Backup Agent, you must add the Backup Manager's public key to Agent's configuration.

To add the Manager's key to the Backup Agent's configuration using the Command Line Interface (CLI) tools, follow the instructions below.
Use the following steps to add the Backup Manager key to the Backup Agent configuration using the Command Line Interface (CLI).

1. Run the following command on the Server (Backup Agent machine):
# Verify that the Backup Manager from which you are downloading the key is running and accessible by the Backup Agent via the network.
# Run the following command on the Backup Agent server:
{code}serverbackup-setup --get-key [Manager_URL]{code}
