Upgrading the command-line utility from Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
When you upgrade a stand-alone edition of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 to Acronis Backup, no additional actions are needed to upgrade the command-line utility.
When you upgrade an edition with centralized management, the software installs the command-line utility on every machine where an agent is installed. No additional actions are needed.
Backward compatibility
The Acronis Backup command-line utility is backward compatible with the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 command-line utility. You can continue using the old syntax. Just type acrocmd instead of trueimagecmd.
To continue using your existing scripts, edit the scripts so that trueimagecmd is replaced with acrocmd. If your scripts contain the path to the trueimagecmd utility, replace it with the path to the acrocmd utility. Retain all other parameters and values.
Before switching to acrocmd, make sure that all the product components are upgraded. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 does not support acrocmd.
Combination of the old and new syntaxes is acceptable within a script, but is not acceptable within a command string. When you create new scripts, we recommend that you use the new syntax.
Even when using the old syntax, logs and commands' output will appear in the new format.
Extensions of backup file names
The behavior of the /filename parameter with the backup commands is slightly different in Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 and Acronis Backup. Unlike Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, where the extension of a backup file is exactly the same as you specify in the parameter value, Acronis Backup adds the *.tib extension to this value.
