Problem

You want to change the protocol or target of the connection between the software and the backup server.

Cause

The account has been moved to a different backup server.
You want to change the protocol from HTTP to HTTPS or visa versa.

We will asume that changing the settings is preferred.

4. Here you can change the server address or protocol
   • Select "(1). Backup Server URL" to adjust the server address
   • Select "(2). Protocol" to change the protocol
5. Select "(4). Save and Return"
6. Select "(8). Quit"

GUI (Windows/Linux/Mac)

1. Start the software (/usr/local/obm/bin/RunOBC.sh for Linux)
2. Go to your profile (green puppet)
   
3. Remove the check for "Save password"
