Edit Backup Server

Use the Edit Backup Server API to edit the information about the backup server. These are remote servers on which backup of the VPS is uploaded. After updating the details of the backup server you need to make sure that these details are also updated in the backup plan also. Also use the Test Backup Connectivity API to test the connection to the backup server after it has been edited.

For more information, please refer this Backup Server guide.
