....................................................................................................... 140 6 Copyright © Acronis International GmbH, 2002-2014 1 Command-line utility overview Acronis Backup supports the command-line interface with the acrocmd utility. Unlike the trueimagecmd utility used in the older Acronis products, acrocmd does not contain any tools that physically execute the commands. It merely provides the command-line interface to Acronis Backup components—agents, storage nodes and the management server. Once installed on a Windows or Linux machine, the acrocmd utility can be run from any folder or directory. This utility is also available when operating in both Linux-based and PE-based bootable media. 1.1 Installation Products with local management only (Acronis Backup) If you have installed Acronis Backup, the command-line utility is already on your machine. Only local management of this machine is available. This means that any command or script for this machine can be run only locally. Products with centralized management (Acronis Backup Advanced) Acronis Backup Advanced enables you to perform local, remote and centralized management (p. 10) of any machine where an Acronis Backup agent is installed. As with Management Console, you install the command-line utility on the machine from which you prefer to operate (run commands or scripts). The machine may run Windows or Linux. Using the command-line utility, you can manage a Windows machine from a machine running Linux or vice versa. Installation steps In Linux, the command-line utility is installed by default with Management Console or Agent for Linux. In Windows, you install the utility from the setup file as a separate component. To access this component in the installer, select the I want to manually select the Acronis components and customize the installation process check box. Or, you can extract and run the corresponding .msi file. To install the command-line utility from the .msi file: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 7 Run the Acronis Backup setup program. Click Extract installation files. Select the check box corresponding to the AcronisCommandLineTool.msi file. Specify the folder where to extract the file. Click Extract. After the file is successfully extracted, click Finish. Go to the folder where the AcronisCommandLineTool.msi file is extracted, and launch the file. Follow the Install Wizard instructions on the screen. Copyright © Acronis International GmbH, 2002-2014 Installation paths The default installation paths are: %ProgramFiles%\Acronis\CommandLineTool (in 32-bit Windows) %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Acronis\CommandLineTool (in 64-bit Windows) /usr/lib/Acronis/CommandLineTool (in Linux) 1.2 Backward compatibility and upgrade Upgrading the command-line utility from Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 When you upgrade a stand-alone edition of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 to Acronis Backup, no additional actions are needed to upgrade the command-line utility. When you upgrade an edition with centralized management, the software installs the command-line utility on every machine where an agent is installed. No additional actions are needed. Backward compatibility The Acronis Backup command-line utility is backward compatible with the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 command-line utility. You can continue using the old syntax. Just type acrocmd instead of trueimagecmd. To continue using your existing scripts, edit the scripts so that trueimagecmd is replaced with acrocmd. If your scripts contain the path to the trueimagecmd utility, replace it with the path to the acrocmd utility. Retain all other parameters and values. Before switching to acrocmd, make sure that all the product components are upgraded. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 does not support acrocmd. Combination of the old and new syntaxes is acceptable within a script, but is not acceptable within a command string. When you create new scripts, we recommend that you use the new syntax. Even when using the old syntax, logs and commands' output will appear in the new format. Extensions of backup file names The behavior of the /filename parameter with the backup commands is slightly different in Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 and Acronis Backup. Unlike Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, where the extension of a backup file is exactly the same as you specify in the parameter value, Acronis Backup adds the *.tib extension to this value. For example: In Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, if you specify /filename:my_backup.bak, the backup file name will be my_backup.bak In Acronis Backup, if you specify /filename: my_backup.bak, the backup file name will be my_backup.bak.tib. However, if you specify /filename: my_backup.tib, the backup file name will also be my_backup.tib. 1.3 Syntax acrocmd has the following format: acrocmd -- = … -- = 8 Copyright © Acronis International GmbH, 2002-2014 Typographic conventions Descriptions of commands and parameters use the following specific typographic conventions. Between angle brackets (<>) – information that the user must supply. Example: Between braces ({}); choices separated by pipe (|) – a set of choices from which the user must choose only one. Example: {on|off}. Parameter values For some parameters, you should specify only one value. The description of such value is written in the singular. For example, if you see --arc= , specify only one archive name in this parameter. For some parameters, you can enter one or more values. The description of such values is written in the plural. For example, if you see --volume= , you can specify a list of volume numbers in this parameter. Separators A parameter name and a value list can be separated by either an equals sign or a space character. Values in a value list can be separated by either a comma or a space character. Examples: acrocmd acrocmd acrocmd acrocmd backup backup backup backup disk disk disk disk --disk=1,2 --disk=1 2 --disk 1,2 --disk 1 2 Enclosing parameter values that contain commas and space characters General view Example " " --include="C:\my documents" \" \" --include=\"E:\Employees(A,B)\" "\" \"" --include="\"D:\my photos\my wife, my kids and me\"" Files with input parameters acrocmd supports files with input parameters. The contents of an input parameter file are concatenated with the parameters in the command line. For example, the command acrocmd backup disk -f params.txt where the content of the file params.txt is --disk=1 --loc=e:\my_backups --arc=archive123 equals to acrocmd backup disk --disk=1 --loc=e:\my_backups --arc=archive123 9 Copyright © Acronis International GmbH, 2002-2014 1.4 Local, remote and centralized management Acronis Backup Advanced enables you to perform local, remote and centralized management of any machine where an Acronis Backup agent is installed. Local management For local management, you install the command-line utility on the same machine where the Acronis Backup agent is installed. The operations are performed under the user account you are logged on with. Example To view all disks of the local machine, run the following command: acrocmd list disks Remote management For remote management, you install the command-line utility on the machine from which you prefer to operate (run commands or scripts). Along with the command, you specify: the IP address or host name of the remote machine that has an Acronis Backup agent (--host) credentials (a pair of user name and password) for access to that machine The user whose credentials you specify must be a member of the Acronis Remote Users security group on that machine. The operations are performed under this user account. Example To view all disks of a remote machine, run the following command: acrocmd list disks --host= --credentials= , Centralized management Commands on a machine Through Acronis Backup Management Server, you can manage any registered machine using the credentials of the management server's administrator. Credentials for each remote machine are not required. For a number of commands, you can specify comma-separated addresses of multiple machines. The operation will be executed on all the specified machines one after another. Along with the command, you specify: the IP address or host name of the machine that has an Acronis Backup agent (--address) the IP address or host name of the management server (--host) the name of the management server service (--service=ams) credentials for access to the management server The user whose credentials you specify must be a member of the Acronis Centralized Admins security group on the management server. If you are running the command-line utility on a different machine, the user must also be a member of the Acronis Remote Users security group on the management server. 10 Copyright © Acronis International GmbH, 2002-2014 The operations on the machine are performed under the account of the agent service running on that machine (Acronis Agent User account). Example To view all disks of a machine through the management server, run the following command: acrocmd list disks --host= --credentials= , --service=ams --address= Commands on the management server There are commands that can be executed by the management server itself. Example To view the current activities of the management server, run the following command: acrocmd list activities --host= --credentials= , --service=ams The below diagram shows options of access to a managed machine directly or via Acronis Backup Management Server. Options of access to a managed machine 1.5 Uninstallation Uninstallation in Linux In Linux, run the following commands to uninstall the command-line utility: 11 Copyright © Acronis International GmbH, 2002-2014 # cd /usr/lib/Acronis/CommandLineTool/uninstall # ./uninstall To uninstall the command-line utility in the unattended mode, run the ./uninstall commands with the -a parameter. Uninstallation in Windows When you uninstall Acronis Backup by clicking Start -> All Programs -> Acronis -> Uninstall Acronis Backup, the command-line utility is uninstalled along with all product components. To uninstall the command-line utility separately from the product 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Run the Acronis Backup setup program. Click Extract installation files. Select the check box corresponding to the AcronisCommandLineTool.msi file. Specify the folder where to extract the file. Click Extract. After the file is successfully extracted, click Close. Run the following command: msiexec /uninstall \AcronisCommandLineTool.msi /qb where is the folder where the file is extracted. If you have Acronis Backup Advanced, you can also uninstall the command-line utility as follows. Run the Acronis Backup setup program, click Install Acronis Backup, then click Modify, and then clear the check box next to the name of the command-line utility. 1.6 List of abbreviated names This document uses the following abbreviated names. AMS – Acronis Backup Management Server and this component's service. MMS – Acronis Managed Machine Service, the service running on a machine where an Acronis agent is installed.

A disk is always recovered along with its MBR. When you recover a volume, the MBR is not recovered unless you use the --mbr_disk and --target_mbr_disk parameters. Examples (p. 119) Parameters What to recover --loc= (p. 77) --credentials= , ,encrypted (p. 114) --arc= (p. 78) --password= ,encrypted (p. 117) --backup= (p. 79) --disk= (p. 82) --nt_signature={auto|new|backup|existing} (p. 82) --volume= (p. 83) --oss_numbers={true|false} (p. 116) --mbr_disk= (p. 85) 20 Copyright © Acronis International GmbH, 2002-2014 Where to recover --target_disk= (p. 105) --target_volume= (p. 105) Recovering disks If the --target_disk parameter is specified, the software will recover each disk specified in the --disk parameter to the respective disk specified in the --target_disk parameter. For example, if you type --disk=1,2 --target_disk=3,4, the software will recover disk 1 to disk 3 and disk 2 to disk 4. If the number of values of the --disk and --target_disk parameters differ, the command will fail. If the --target_disk parameter is not specified, the software will automatically map the disks specified in the --disk parameter to the target machine's disks. If the automatic mapping is not successful, the command will fail. Recovering volumes If the --target_volume parameter is specified, the software will recover each volume specified in the --volume parameter to the respective volume specified in the --target_volume parameter. For example, if you type --volume=3-1,3-2 --target_volume=1-1,1-2, the software will recover volume 3-1 to volume 1-1 and volume 3-2 to volume 1-2. If the number of values of the --volume and --target_volume parameters differ, the command will fail. If the --target_volume parameter is not specified, and the --target_disk parameter is specified, the software will try to recover all of the volumes specified in the --volume parameter to the first unallocated space of a suitable size on the specified disk. If no unallocated space of a suitable size is found, the command will fail. You can specify only one target disk, even when recovering several volumes. If neither the --target_volume parameter nor the --target_disk parameter is specified, the software will automatically map the volumes specified in the --volume parameter to the target machine's disks. If the automatic mapping is not successful, the command will fail. --start= {s|kb|mb|gb} (p. 84) --size= {s|kb|mb|gb} (p. 85) --target_mbr_disk= (p. 85) How to recover --fat16_32 (p. 101) --ext2_3 (p. 101) --preserve_mbr (p. 103) --type={active|primary|logical} (p. 106) --use_all_space (p. 106) --active_restore If the parameter is specified, the Acronis Active Restore technology is enabled.

Use this command to repair an MBR on the same machine that was backed up. When migrating to different hardware, use the recover disk (p. 20) command with either the --disk parameter (the MBR will be recovered automatically) or the --volume, --mbr_disk, and --target_mbr_disk parameters. Examples (p. 119) Parameters What to recover --loc= (p. 77) --credentials= , ,encrypted (p. 114) --arc= (p. 78) --password= ,encrypted (p. 117) --backup= (p. 79) --disk= (p. 82) Where to recover --target_disk= (p. 105) Recovery options --force_yes (p. 115) --reboot (p. 118) --reboot_after (p. 118) 22 Copyright © Acronis International GmbH, 2002-2014 --retry_count= (p. 114) --retry_delay= (p. 114) --silent_mode={on|off} (p. 118) General parameters --log= (p. 115) --log_format={structured|unstructured} (p. 115) --output={formatted|raw} (p. 117) {-f|--file_params}= (p. 115) Access to a remote machine (Acronis Backup Advanced only) --host= (p. 71) --credentials= , ,encrypted (p. 114) --address= (p. 71) Access to a specific service within a machine (Acronis Backup Advanced only) --service={mms|ams} (p. 71) 2.3.1.5 recover lvm_structure Creates the same logical volume structure on the specified machine as in the backed-up system. Use this command if you need to recover a Linux system, along with its software RAID or LVM structure, to a machine with different logical volume structure or without logical volumes. The specified machine must be booted with Linux-based bootable media. Before executing the command, make sure that the machine has enough disks that are as big or bigger than the original disks. Execute the command prior to the recover disk (p. 20) command. Then, recover each volume to the corresponding volume of the target machine. Caution: As a result of this command execution, the current volume structure on the machine will be replaced with the one stored in the backup. This will destroy the data that is currently stored on some or all of the machine's hard disks.

Agent for Hyper-V recovers a disk (volume) backup to a new or existing Hyper-V virtual machine. Agent for Windows and Agent for Linux recover a disk (volume) backup to a new virtual machine of any of the following types: VMware Workstation, Microsoft Virtual PC, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, or Citrix XenServer Open Virtual Appliance (OVA). Files of the fully configured and operational machine will be placed in the folder you select. You can start the machine using the respective virtualization software or prepare the machine files for further usage. The OVA virtual appliance can be imported to XenServer. Disks of a Virtual PC can be attached to a Hyper-V virtual machine. A virtual machine must be powered off during the recovery to this machine. The target machine located on an ESX(i) or Hyper-V host will be powered off without a prompt. Please be sure to specify the correct machine.
