Command-line utility overview

Acronis Backup supports the command-line interface with the acrocmd utility.

Unlike the trueimagecmd utility used in the older Acronis products, acrocmd does not contain any tools that physically execute the commands. It merely provides the command-line interface to Acronis Backup components—agents, storage nodes and the management server.

Once installed on a Windows or Linux machine, the acrocmd utility can be run from any folder or directory. This utility is also available when operating in both Linux-based and PE-based bootable media.
