In case of installation in Linux
When installing the agent on a machine running Linux, you have to run the upgrade tool manually
with the Agent parameter after the installation.
Summary
The tasks existing on a machine, including those originated from Acronis Group Server, continue
functioning as local backup plans. Centralized backup policies can be created and deployed anew.
If all the tasks you need to import originate from Acronis Group Server, you can opt for the
centralized approach instead of the local approach: convert the source group task into a backup
policy and apply the policy to the machines that were included in the group task. Organizing such
machines into groups will make sense.
2.2.3 Centralized approach: Converting group tasks into backup
policies
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 has the ability to import Acronis True Image Echo group tasks into
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server.
The group tasks that back up data to Acronis Backup Server or validate the archives stored on it will
not be imported. In that case, create and apply a backup policy with a backup destination other than
the backup server.
The import is performed by running the same upgrade tool with the GS parameter after installing the
management server. Each group task will be converted into a backup policy.
To deploy all centralized backup strategies, you need to apply the policy to the upgraded machines
that were originally included in the group task. Instead of applying the policy to each machine
individually, you may want to organize the machines into a group on the management server and
then apply the policy to that group.
