Nethserver v7.7.1908

Hi,
A small thing, but I noticed that after a restore of the config on a fresh install, the SFTP credentials of my Restic backup are not restored. Before I could use that backup location as a restore point, I had to edit that backup config and re-enter the password of the SFTP share. After that I could restore from that backup location.

Thanks for your feedback but that’s not a bug, the SFTP password is not saved by design.

Connection to remote host uses a specific public key. A password is needed only once to copy the public key to the remote host.

There’s a tooltip in the new server manager too:

Thanks! Didn’t see the tooltip, sorry.
That explains it all! :slight_smile:
