store <password>

Updates the PostgreSQL database superuser password in the pgdb.cfg file (NetVault Backup configuration file). It does not change the superuser password in the PostgreSQL Database itself; it just updates the pgdb.cfg file.

You can use this option to update the password in the configuration file after the password is changed in the database using any PostgreSQL native tool (for example, the psql utility).

change <current password> <new password>

Changes the database superuser password both in the PostgreSQL DB and in the pgdb.cfg file.

You must specify both the current password and the new password with this option.

On Linux shell: \<\>\&#\|/\"\':\*.-\`\(\)[]{}\$@?
On Windows command prompt: "<>&#|/""':*.-`()[]{}$@?".

Before updating the superuser password, you must stop the NetVault Backup Service.
