How to specify port in ssh destination for backup

username9 · January 31, 2013, 4:02am

Hi guys, I have specified an SSH server as a secondary destination for my backup. The SSH server is listening on a port other than 22. How to configure my backup to use the non-standard port?

Thanks

Howdy,

In the hostname field, you can specify your hostname as “backup.server.tld:PORT”.

That is, just add your port number to the end of the hostname you’re sending the backups to.

Thanks as always Eric. For some reason I never got an update and hence the delay in my thanking you.
