Legacy Data Sources

If you have updated to Acronis Access from a previous mobilEcho installation, all of your assigned folders will carry over automatically and will be put in this section. If you're still using a mobilEcho 4.5 server or older, you can also create a volume in the mobilEcho Administrator, and add it to the Legacy Data Sources from this page.

Adding a new legacy folder

1. Press the Add New Legacy Folder button.
2. Enter a Display Name. This name will be shown in the mobilEcho client application.
3. Select the mobilEcho server that contains the mobilEcho volume where the folder is located.
4. Enter the folder's Path. The path must begin with the mobilEcho shared volume name. If the path of the folder specific doesn't start with a mobilEcho volume name, the folder will not function when users try to access it. If you would like to give access to a subfolder in that shared volume, include the full path to that subfolder in the Path field.
   • You can include the wildcard string %USERNAME% in the path. This wildcard will be replaced with the user's account username.
   • SharePoint sites and document libraries are displayed when browsing in the mobilEcho app using their "Title". It is possible for a site's title to be different from the site's URL name. For example, http://sharepoint.company.com/testsite might have a title of "Test Site". You may use either the URL path or the Title when configuring Folders that point to SharePoint locations. The entire path that you specify must use either the titles or URL names of any sites, subsites, and document libraries referenced in the path.
5. Choose a Sync option. None, 1-way, or 2-way.
6. Optionally, enable Require Salesforce activity logging.
7. Search for an Active Directory User and Group you'd like to assign this new folder to, and click the user or group name. This will result in the folder automatically appearing in that user's or group's mobilEcho app.
8. Press the Save button.

To move your Legacy Data Sources to the new system:

1. Find the mobilEcho File Server on which the Data Source resides.
2. Upgrade the mobilEcho File Server to the Acronis Access Gateway server.
3. Open the Acronis Access web interface and log in as an administrator.
4. Open the Gateway Servers tab.
5. Add your server to the list of Gateway Servers. For more information on this process, visit the Managing Gateway Servers section.
6. Add a license for the Gateway Server.
7. Repeat this process for every Legacy data source.

After these steps, the Legacy Data Sources tab will disappear and all of your Legacy Data Sources will be moved to the Folders section.
