Using Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) › How to Manage the Linux Backup Server from the Command Line › Start, Stop, or Release the Backup Server

Start, Stop, or Release the Backup Server

Manage your Backup Server to know the running status of the Backup Server. You can verify whether your Backup Server has stopped or is still running and then manage the server accordingly. Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) supports the following command-line functions:

Start the Backup Server
Stop the Backup Server
Release the Backup Server

Follow these steps:

Navigate to the bin folder using the following command:
```
# cd/opt/CA/d2dserver/bin
```
You gain access to the bin folder.
From the bin folder, run the following commands depending on the task that you want to perform on the server:
Note: If any command is not successful, an error message is displayed explaining the reason.
```
# ./d2dserver start
```
Starts the Backup Server.

If you are successful, a message is displayed informing you that the server has started.
```
# ./d2dserver stop
```
Stops the Backup server.

If you are successful, a message is displayed informing you that the server has stopped.
```
# ./d2dserver restart
```
Restarts the Backup server.

If you are successful, a message is displayed informing you that the server has restarted.
```
# ./d2dserver status
```
Displays the status of the Backup server.
```
# /opt/CA/d2dserver/bin/d2dreg --release
```
Releases the remaining Backup Servers that are managed by the main server.

For example, if Backup Server A manages two other servers, Backup Server B and Backup Server C, then when you uninstall Backup Server A you cannot access Backup Server B and Backup Server C. You can release Backup Server B and Backup Server C using this script and can access those servers.

The Backup Server is successfully managed from the command line.
