Configure Azure Devops Backups Using an Access Node

You can use a guided setup to configure backups for Azure Devops via an access node. You can add a Windows or UNIX server to be the access node. You can add multiple access nodes.

Before You Begin

  • Verify that your environment meets the system requirements for Windows or Linux.

Important

Clients with ARM processors are not supported.

  • The Git client application must be installed on the access node. To download Git, see Git Downloads.

  • The Git Large File Storage (LFS) package must be installed on the access node. To download and install Git LFS, see Git Installation.

    The installation directories for both Git and Git LFS software must be included in the system environment variables, and the git executables must be accessible via the command prompt.

  • To add the access node, you need the following information:

    • Host name

    • User name and password

  • Review port requirements for the access node.
