--loc=<path>
When backing up, the path to the location where the backup is to be created. For other operations, the path to the location where the backups are stored.
The path can be specified in the following formats:
Type of storage |
Format |
Local path (in Windows) |
<drive>:\<folder> |
Local path (in Linux) |
/<directory 1>/.../<directory N> |
SMB |
\\<server>\<folder> |
NFS |
nfs://<server>/<share>:/<folder> |
FTP, SFTP |
ftp://<server>/<folder>/* |
Acronis Backup Storage Node |
bsp://<storage node>/<vault name> |
Acronis Cloud Storage |
online:// |
Acronis Secure Zone |
atis:///asz |
Tape |
atis:///tape?<GUID of attached library>** |
* To establish an active mode FTP connection, use the following notation: aftp://<server>/<folder>/
**Using this format, you can access a tape library or drive only if it is directly attached to the managed machine. You can determine the GUID of this library or drive by using the list tape_libraries command.
For a tape library or drive attached to a storage node, a centralized vault should be created on that storage node. To access such tape library or drive, use the bsp://<storage node>/<vault name> format.
