How to take back up of remote influx db?

1

influxd has an option to take backup of remote db. However it doesn’t have an option to pass credentials.

This works
influxd backup -host avilpage.com:50243 ./influx.db

But this fails
influxd backup -host avilpage.com:50243 -password password -username user ./influx.db

Is there an alternate way to backup remote influxdb?

does your username or password have any characters that would make this thing act weird?
