Before you can use OBM, you have to be authenticated by the Offsite Backup Server first. The logon dialog shown below will check if you have the right to access OBM by submitting the username and password you provided to the backup server.
For secure communication, you can choose to communicate with Offsite Backup Server in SSL (Secure Socket Layer) by selecting the [https] option.
The [Address] field shows the Offsite Backup Server to which OBM will connect to authenticate your username and password. You can use either a resolvable host name (e.g. backup.your-domain.com) or an IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1).
If the Offsite Backup Server is not accepting connection from the standard ports (Port 80 and 443 for http and https respectively), you can append a semi-colon “:” and the custom port number to the host name of the [Address] field (e.g. www.backup-provider.com:8080) to connect to the server using the custom port number (port 8080 in this case).
If you need to connect to the server through proxy, just enter your proxy setting in the [Proxy Setting] section. For [SOCKS] proxy, both v4 and v5 without user authentication are supported.
