Predefined scripts

Bootable Media Builder provides the following predefined scripts:

• Backup to and recovery from the cloud storage (entire_pc_cloud)
• Backup to and recovery from the bootable media (entire_pc_local)
• Backup to and recovery from a network share (entire_pc_share)
• Recovery from the cloud storage (golden_image)

The scripts can be found on the machine where Bootable Media Builder is installed, in the following directories:

• In Windows: %ProgramData%\Acronis\MediaBuilder\scripts\
• In Linux: /var/lib/Acronis/MediaBuilder/scripts/

Backup to and recovery from the cloud storage

This script will back up a machine to the cloud storage or recover the machine from its most recent backup created in the cloud storage by this script. On its start, the script will prompt the user to choose between backup, recovery, and starting the user interface.

In Bootable Media Builder, specify the following script parameters:

1. The user name and password for the cloud storage.
2. [Optional] A password that the script will use to encrypt or access the backups.

Backup to and recovery from the bootable media

This script will back up a machine to the bootable media or recover the machine from its most recent backup created by this script on the same media. On its start, the script will prompt the user to choose between backup, recovery, and starting the user interface.

In Bootable Media Builder, you can specify a password that the script will use to encrypt or access the backups.

Backup to and recovery from a network share

This script will back up a machine to a network share or recover the machine from its most recent backup located on a network share. On its start, the script will prompt the user to choose between backup, recovery, and starting the user interface.

In Bootable Media Builder, specify the following script parameters:

1. The network share path.
2. The user name and password for the network share.
3. [Optional] The backup file name. The default value is AutoBackup. If you want the script to append backups to an already existing backup, or to recover from a backup with a non-default name, change the default value to the file name of this backup.

   To find out the backup file name

   1. In the backup console, go to Backups > Locations.
   2. Select the network share (click Add location if the share is not listed).
   3. Select the backup.
   4. Click Details. The file name is displayed under Backup file name.
4. [Optional] A password that the script will use to encrypt or access the backups.

Recovery from the cloud storage

This script will recover the machine from the most recent backup located in the cloud storage. On its start, the script will prompt the user to specify:

1. The user name and password for the cloud storage.
2. The password if the backup is encrypted.

We recommend that you store backups of only one machine under this cloud storage account. Otherwise, if a backup of another machine is newer than the backup of the current machine, the script will choose that machine backup.
