The backend support is wrapped in two bundles:

  • File Transfer Backend Service, found in <RM_HOME>/packages/osgidm/osgidm.filetransfer.be.jar
  • Backup and Restore Backend Service, found in <RM_HOME>/packages/osgidm/osgidm.backup.be.jar

On the OSGi Device

Make sure the Backup Admin on the device framework is enabled.
Install and start the following bundles:

  • Backend File Transfer Service Agent, found in: <RM_HOME>/packages/osgidm/osgidm.filetransfer.agent.jar
  • Backup and Restore Agent , found in: <RM_HOME>/packages/osgidm/osgidm.backup.agent.jar
