Creating vbr Configuration Files

The vbr utility uses a configuration file for the information required to back up and restore a full- or object-level backup or copy a cluster. You cannot run vbr without a configuration file because no default file exists. You can, however:

• Copy and edit an existing configuration file and save the changes to a different file name.
• Copy and edit one of the sample configuration files included with Vertica.

See VBR Configuration File Reference for descriptions of the configuration parameters.
