SafetyNet & FMCloud

[donwolfkonecny]

I'd like to install SafetyNet to backup my FMCloud, perhaps to another amazon account. How do I do that? I searched the 360 documentation and searched the forums but don't find instructions. I downloaded SafetyNet and ran the installer, it wants to run on this machine. That does not seem right since the database is not on this machine. How should I proceed?

Hi Donwolfkonecny,

    Currently SafetyNet cannot be used with FileMaker Cloud. This is because of multiple factors, the main being because FileMaker Cloud is headless so you can't run the installer like you would with FileMaker Server running on Mac or Windows.  SafetyNet also uses the fmsadmin utility which seems to at the very least operate in a different capacity than it does with FileMaker Server.  FileMaker Cloud instances are also pretty closed off security wise and would require opening multiple different ports in AWS.
