Restarting the internal backup processes and service
To apply advanced settings, you often need to restart the Backup FP (the internal process associated with Backup Manager).
The service will not restart itself if stopped, so will need to be manually restarted. However, it will start up as normal after a device reboot as long as it has not been disabled.
Windows instructions
Here is how to restart the Backup FP on Windows:
- Open the Start menu
- Start the Services Console by typing
Services
into the search menu, orservices.msc
in the Run program - Scroll until you find the Backup Service Controller service
- Right-click and choose Restart
You may also stop the service by following the above instructions, but selecting Stop in step 4
Linux instructions
On Linux, start a terminal emulator and run the following command:
/etc/init.d/ProcessController restart
macOS instructions
On macOS, start the Terminal and run the following commands:
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.cloudbackup.BackupFP.plist sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.cloudbackup.BackupFP.plist
