ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server SBS Edition Installation Manual page 27

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
Specifies the password for the UserName user. If you skip this parameter, the upgrade tool
will prompt you for a password.
-r
Effective only if you are planning to upgrade the machines' tasks—see "Upgrading Acronis
True Image Echo agents and local versions (p. 29)".
This parameter prohibits the conversion of local backup plans, resulting from the upgrade of
group tasks on a machine, to centralized backup plans. When this parameter is specified,
local backup plans resulting from upgrade of group tasks on a machine, will remain local after
the machine is registered on the management server. Otherwise, the management server will
convert them to centralized backup plans and establish correspondence between these
centralized plans and the policy resulting from the group task upgrade.
