•
You can continue using Acronis True Image Echo Management Console with Acronis True Image
Echo components.
4.4. Upgrading Acronis Group Server to Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 Management Server
You can install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server on the same machine as the
Acronis Group Server, or on a different machine.
The management server and the group server are independent of each other: if you are not planning
to use the group server, you can uninstall it at any time, including before the management server's
installation. Otherwise, you can continue using the group server with Acronis True Image Echo
components if these still exist in your infrastructure.
After the management server is installed, you can import the group server's group tasks as the
management server's backup policies—even after you uninstall the group server.
Note: The tasks that back up data to Acronis Backup Server or validate archives stored on it will not be imported
to the management server.
To install the management server
1. Run the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 setup file.
2. In the list of components to install, select the Management Server check box.
3. To be able to import the group server's group tasks, select the Upgrade Tool check box.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
To import the group server's group tasks
1. On the machine where the management server 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. If the group server and the management server are installed on the same machine, run the
following command (note capitalization):
cscript UpgradeTool.vbs GS [-r]
(the optional parameter -r is described below). Otherwise, run the following command:
cscript UpgradeTool.vbs GS MachineName -u UserName [-p Password] [-r]
Description of parameters:
MachineName
Specifies the name or IP address of the machine where the group server is installed.
-u UserName
Specifies the user name of a member of the Administrators group on the MachineName
machine.
-p Password
