Cbbackup from node external to couchbase cluster

Hi All,
Could someone give me a lead on how to run cbbackup command from a node external to couchbase cluster?
Right now I am taking couchbase backup from teh couchbase node itself.
If I run the cbbackup command from an external node I get the error “missing libcouchstore-1.dll”

Thanks,
Priya

cbbackup has dependencies that are part of the Couchbase Server installation. You cannot just copy the cbbackup script somewhere else and expect it to run. If you want to backup from an external node you should install Couchbase on that machine and then run the cbbackup script from the Couchbase installation. You don’t need to be running the server on the external machine. Also, if you are running enterprise edition this external node being used only for backup does not count towards you node quota.
