remote_user

This parameter specifies the user for a remote host for backing up to a remote tape or disk.

Note Note

The parameters remote_host and remote_user replace the parameter read_fifo_cmd, which is no longer used as of Release 4.5A.

End of the note.

Syntax Syntax

```
remote_user = <user>
```

End of the code.

Default value: none

If you use the ftp network to transfer data (see stage_copy_cmd) you can also specify the password which BRBACKUP uses to log on to the remote host:

remote_user = "<user> <password>"

If you do not specify a password, BRBACKUP uses the password of the database user. If this is the case, the two user passwords must be the same.
