Importing A Task - ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Installation Manual

4.6.1.

Importing a task

Instead of importing the tasks from Acronis True Image Echo as a whole, you can use the upgrade
tool to import a particular backup or validation task.
Note: The tasks that back up data to Acronis Backup Server or validate archives stored on it cannot be imported.
Acronis True Image Echo stores each task as a .tis file. By default, these files are located in the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImage\Scripts (in Windows) or
in the directory /etc/Acronis/TrueImage/Scripts (in Linux).
The names of the .tis files are Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs), such as 6AED5F49-7EED-4E3E-
939E-19360A44137F.tib.tis. Each file has the XML format. The <display> tag in the file specifies the
task name as it appears in the list of tasks.
To import a task
1. Determine the file name of the task that you want to import—for example, by examining the
content of the <display> tag.
2. Change the current folder to the one where the upgrade tool is installed.
3. Run the following command, specifying the file name of the task:
In Windows:
o
cscript UpgradeTool.vbs Script -f "C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImage\Scripts\6AED5F49-7EED-4E3E-939E-
19360A44137F.tib.tis"
In Linux:
o
./UpgradeTool.sh Script -f /etc/Acronis/TrueImage/Scripts/6AED5F49-7EED-4E3E-
939E-19360A44137F.tib.tis"
As a result, the task is imported as an Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 task and becomes part of a
backup plan.
