Upgrading Acronis True Image Echo Agents And Local Versions - ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition Installation Manual

To import the backup server's locations
1. On the machine where the storage node is installed, log on as a member of the Administrators
group.
2. Change the current folder to the folder where the upgrade tool is installed—by default:
C:\Program Files\Acronis\UpgradeTool
If Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is installed in a folder other than the default folder, change the
path accordingly.
3. Run the following command:
cscript UpgradeTool.vbs BS
Result:
•
The backup server's backup locations are the storage node's centralized vaults.
•
If the storage node is registered on the management server, these centralized vaults will appear
on the management server in the Vaults view.
•
Each centralized vault is named according to the backup location's folder.
•
Each centralized vault displays all archives currently present in the corresponding backup
location.
Coexistence of the backup server and the storage node
Suppose that both the backup server and the storage node are installed and operational on the same
machine, and that you imported the backup server's locations as the storage node's centralized
vaults. In this case:
•
The backup server continues working as before: Acronis True Image Echo components can back
up data to and recover data from the locations; the backup server cleans up the location
according to quotas and time limits.
•
The storage node accesses the corresponding centralized vaults in the read-only mode: you can
view the vaults' contents and recover data from their archives, but no archives can be deleted
from the vaults.
When restarting the machine or manually restarting services, make sure that the backup server
service starts before the storage node service. Otherwise, the backup server may not work.
To ensure the correct order of starting the services, you can make the storage node service
dependent on the backup server service, as described in the corresponding Microsoft Help and
Support article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193888.
