Backups

Listing backups

• Listing backups of an archive stored in a local folder. The output will be displayed in the raw format. Therefore, you will be able to see and use complete GUIDs of backups.

  acrocmd list backups --loc=E:\backups\ --arc=my_archive --output=raw

• Listing backups of an archive stored in a managed vault and saving the complete output to a text file. This allows you to use GUIDs of backups in scripts.

  In the following example, the output in the raw format is redirected to a text file.

  acrocmd list backups --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --credentials="ASN user",pass123 --arc=my_archive --output=raw > c:\GUID.txt

  In the following example, the operation log, including the output data, is written to a text file in the structured xml format.

  acrocmd list backups --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --credentials="ASN user",pass123 --arc=my_archive --log=c:\log.txt

Listing backup content

• Listing the content of a backup from an archive residing in Acronis Secure Zone.

  acrocmd list content --loc=atis:///asz --credentials=aszpass --arc=my_archive --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

Validating a backup

• Validating a backup.

  acrocmd validate backup --loc=E:\backups\ --arc=my_archive --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

Cataloging a backup

• Cataloging the latest backup of an archive stored in a network folder.

  acrocmd catalog backup --loc=\\bkpsrv\backups --credentials=netuser,pass2 --arc=my_archive

• Cataloging a backup stored in a managed vault. The cataloging is always executed by the storage node, regardless of the machine where you run this command from. This example assumes that you run the command on the storage node.

  acrocmd catalog backup --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --arc=my_archive --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --service=asn

Exporting backups

• Exporting the selected backups of an archive stored in a managed vault to a local folder.

  acrocmd export backup --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --credentials="ASN user",pass --arc=my_archive --password=123 --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX1,XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX2 --target=E:\copies --target_arc=my_archive_copy

• Importing the latest backup of an archive from a network folder to a managed vault.

  acrocmd export backup --host=storage_node --credentials=user1,pass1 --service=asn --loc=\\bkpsrv\backups --credentials=netuser,pass2 --arc=my_archive --target=bsp://storage_node/my_vault --progress

  Because the parameter value --service=asn is used, the command will be executed by the storage node service. The first credentials must belong to a user of the specified vault. The second credentials enable reading from the shared folder.

Replicating a backup

• Replicating the latest backup of an archive stored in a local folder to a tape device directly attached to the machine.

  acrocmd replicate backup --loc=C:\Backups --arc=my_archive --password=123 --target=atis:///tape?XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

• Replicating the selected backup of an archive from a network share to Acronis Cloud Storage.

  acrocmd replicate backup --loc=\\bkpsrv\backups --credentials=netuser,pass1 --arc=my_archive --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --target=online:// --credentials=user@mail.com,pass2 --target_arc=my_archive_copy

Converting a backup to full

• Converting the latest backup of the archive to a full backup. As a result of the operation, the incremental or differential backup is substituted with a full one (for the same point in time).

  acrocmd convert full --loc=C:\Backups --arc=my_archive --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

Consolidating backups

• Deleting all backups from an archive except for the specified ones.

  acrocmd consolidate backup --loc=C:\Backups --arc=my_archive --password=123 --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX1,XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX2

Deleting backups

• Deleting the specified backups from an archive.

  acrocmd delete backup --loc=C:\Backups --arc=my_archive --password=123 --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX1,XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX2
