The Linux Backup Agent installer automatically sets the default parameters for the configuration file located in {{/usr/sbin/r1soft/conf/agent_config}}. If you make any changes to this file, you must then restart the Backup Agent daemon using {{/etc/init.d/cdp-agent restart}}. For more information about the serverbackup-setup command, see [About the cdp-agent and serverbackup-setup tools|ServerBackup:About the cdp-agent and serverbackup-setup tools]. For more information about restarting your Backup Agent, see [ServerBackup:Start, stop, or restart the Linux Backup Agent].
You can get a list of all the available configuration options by using the following command:
{code}cat /usr/sbin/r1soft/conf/agent_config{code}
or
{code}less /usr/sbin/r1soft/conf/agent_config{code}

|| Option Name || Default Value || Description ||
| *ConfDir* | {{/usr/sbin/r1soft/conf}} | The configuration directory path. |
| *LogDir* | {{/usr/sbin/r1soft/log}} | The directory where the Backup Agent saves its log files. |
| *LogFileMaxBytes* | 33554432 | The maximum size of the log file. When the log file size reaches the maximum, the Backup Agent creates a new log file and begins storing data to the new file. \\ |
