Mobile Backup

Nowadays, we tend to use our smartphones or tablets to get our work done, because of this,

backing up is crucial as our mobile devices have become an extension of working on a computer.

With this, CloudBacko Mobile Backup is introduced to backup and restore data on mobile devices

that will provide flexible access to prevent the risk of damaging or losing data due to accident or

disaster.

How it works?

The CloudBacko app Mobile backup method for CloudBacko Pro/Lite/Home machine.

1. Mobile device must be registered first.

2. After the registration, go to CloudBacko app to start the mobile backup.

3. Photos and videos are stored in the selected local destination on CloudBacko Pro/Lite/ Home

machine.


Datasheet


System Architecture

The CloudBacko app is connected to the local network of the CloudBacko Pro/Lite/Home machine

via a WiFi Router, to backup and restore photos and videos that are stored primarily on the local

destination of the CloudBacko Pro/Lite/Home machine.

NOTE: The first mobile backup may take up a few hours to backup all the photos and videos from your

device. Subsequent backups will take less time. Please do the following for the first mobile backup to

prevent any interruption during backup process:

Disable screen timeout

Disable auto-lock

Turn off all power saving modes

Connect to power source


Datasheet


Photos and videos are stored either in mobile device’s internal memory or SD Card. These are

selected as backup source using the CloudBacko app and will be backed up to the local

destination of a CloudBacko machine, that can be a Hard Drive, Flash Drive, and/or Network

Drive in their ORIGINAL format unencrypted.


Datasheet


If storage of photos and videos to a cloud destination is required, then this can be done using

CloudBacko Pro/Lite/Home to perform a secondary backup and restore of the photos and

videos on the local drive to the cloud.

To backup and restore photos and videos from CloudBacko app to CloudBacko Pro/Lite/Home

and Cloud, it is a two-step process.

Overview of Mobile Backup Process

The following steps are performed during a mobile backup job from CloudBacko app to CloudBacko

Pro/Lite/Home local machine and Cloud destination.


Datasheet


Mobile Backup Server (MBS)

Starting with CloudBacko Pro v4.3.0.0 or above, the Mobile Backup Server (MBS) will be utilized to

handle mobile backup and restore of CloudBacko app. It is an integral part of CloudBacko

Pro/Lite/Home, which is located in the “mbs” folder inside the CloudBacko Pro/Lite/Home folder.

The Mobile Backup Server (MBS) will be activated automatically when a mobile device installed

with the CloudBacko app is successfully registered for mobile backup with CloudBacko

Pro/Lite/Home. Afterwards, it will be automatically restarted whenever the CloudBacko

Pro/Lite/home services is restarted or when the CloudBacko Pro/Lite/Home machine is rebooted

or powered on. The MBS will be deactivated when all mobile devices have deregistered from the

mobile backup settings and the CloudBacko Pro/Lite/Home services is restarted.

The MBS will use the following port ranges for the request of CloudBacko app

CloudBacko Pro: TCP Port: 50000 to 50099, UDP Port: 50200 to 50299, Protocol: HTTP

CloudBacko Lite: TCP Port: 51200 to 51299, UDP Port: 51200 to 51209, Protocol: HTTP

CloudBacko Home: TCP Port: 52000 to 52099, UDP Port: 52200 to 52299, Protocol: HTTP

The default HTTP and UDP ports are the following:

CloudBacko Pro: TCP Port: 50000, UDP Port: 50200

CloudBacko Lite: TCP Port: 51200, UDP Port: 51200

CloudBacko Home: TCP Port: 52000, UDP Port: 52200

If these ports are already in use by other applications or services, then the MBS will automatically

acquire another port. The actual TCP and UDP port can be seen on the CloudBacko Pro/Lite/Home

when pairing a mobile device for mobile backup.


Datasheet


To perform an MBS health check and CloudBacko app connection check,

1. Check IP address, HTTP port, and UDP port in the

“running.txt” file. On Windows, go to

\ProgramData\CloudBacko Pro\Lite\Home\mbs.

Example: CloudBacko Pro on Windows

NOTE: If the “running.txt” file does not exist then

the MBS is not running, restart the CloudBacko

Pro\Lite\Home Services

After opening the file it will show the HTTP port,

IP address, and UDP ports which are in actual use

by the MBS.

2. Open a command prompt and check if the IP

address captured in the running.txt is the

correct IP address of the machine where

CloudBacko Pro\Lite\Home is installed.

3. Can also verify the actual HTTP port used by

MBS, type the command netstat -an|more.

4. Make sure that your firewall setting allows

network traffic through the following HTTP and

UDP ports to ensure that the communication

between your machine and mobile device is

successful, otherwise mobile backup and

restore will not work.

5. To perform a health check on the MBS. Open a

browser on the CloudBacko Pro\Lite\Home

machine and type the IP address, followed by

TCP port. For example, if the HTTP port used is

50000, http://192.168.110:50000 you should get

the following result, which shows “Running”

status. Which mean the MBS is running.

In the CloudBacko Pro/Lite/Home machine

6. To run a connection test between the mobile

device and machine open a browser in your

mobile device and type the IP address, followed

by TCP port.

For example, if the HTTP port used is 50000,

http://192.168.110:50000 you should get the

following result, which shows “Running” status.

Which means the CloudBacko app can

successfully connect to the MBS and both

backup and restore can proceed on the mobile

device.
