1 Command-line utility overview Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 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 & Recovery 11.5 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.
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 & Recovery 11.
acrocmd --= … --= 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.
1.4 Local, remote and centralized management Advanced editions of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 enable you to perform local, remote and centralized management of any machine where an Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 agent is installed. Local management For local management, you install the command-line utility on the same machine where the Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 agent is installed. The operations are performed under the user account you are logged on with.
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. The operations on the machine are performed under the account of the agent service running on that machine (Acronis Agent User account).
1.5 Uninstallation Uninstallation in Linux In Linux, run the following commands to uninstall the command-line utility: # 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 & Recovery 11.5 by clicking Start -> All Programs -> Acronis -> Uninstall Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.

If you specify a different service, it will transmit the command to asn. 2.4.1.
Usage tip. To speed up backups, you can prohibit full cataloging by adding the --cataloging=fast parameter to the backup command. Use the catalog backup (p. 46), catalog archive (p. 42), or catalog vault (p. 61) command to perform the full cataloging at a later time. Examples (p. 130) Parameters --loc= (p. 78) The command does not support the following locations: Acronis Online Backup Storage, encrypted managed vaults, and removable media such as CD, DVD, BD, Iomega REV, RDX or USB devices.

In a managed vault (--loc=bsp:///), the operation is always executed by the storage node service. If you specify a different service, it will transmit the command to asn. 2.4.2.2 list content Lists the contents of a backup (backed-up disks, volumes, files, virtual machines, databases, etc.). Examples (p. 131) Parameters --loc= (p. 78) --credentials=,,encrypted (p. 115) --arc= (p. 79) --password=,encrypted (p.

--host= (p. 72) --credentials=,,encrypted (p. 115) --address= (p. 72) Access to a specific service within a machine (advanced editions only) --service={mms|ams|asn} (p. 72) Exporting backups from a managed vault (--loc=bsp:///) is always executed by the storage node service. If you specify a different service, it will transmit the command to asn. 2.4.2.
Replicating backups from a managed vault (--loc=bsp:///) is always executed by the storage node service. If you specify a different service, it will transmit the command to asn. 2.4.2.7 convert full Converts an incremental or differential backup into a full one. The backup time stamp remains unchanged. The dependent incremental and differential backups are also updated. However, the old backup versions are deleted only after the new ones have been created.
If the --backup parameter is not specified, only the latest backup of the archive is kept. As a result, the archive will contain only one backup. Examples (p. 131) Parameters --loc= (p. 78) The command does not support the following location: Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Storage Node. --credentials=,,encrypted (p. 115) --arc= (p. 79) --password=,encrypted (p. 119) --backup= (p. 80) General parameters --log= (p.

3 Parameters 3.1 Access to a physical machine 3.1.1 host --host= Specifies the machine running an Acronis service to connect to. If not specified, the command-line utility connects to the local host. Examples: --host=server1 --host=192.168.1.2 3.1.2 service --service={mms|ams|asn} Specifies the Acronis service to connect to. If not specified, the command-line utility connects to the agent service (Acronis Managed Machine Service, MMS).
on the specified machines one after another. The parameter for the above commands has been specified in the following way: --address=. The management server must also be specified when using this parameter. Credentials for the machine are not required. Only the management server credentials are needed.
Path to the virtual machine configuration file on the ESX(i) server (to the .vmx file). The parameter cannot be used for Hyper-V servers. The format is as follows: [] /…// Example --vmconfig="[Local_storage_2] Windows 2008 R2 Dev/Windows 2008 R2 Dev.vmx" With the backup vm (p. 28) command, you can specify several values of this parameter. 3.2.2 New virtual machine vmname --vmname= Name of a new virtual machine.
Example: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines 3.3 Access to applications 3.3.1 exchange_credentials --exchange_credentials=,,encrypted Credentials to access an Exchange server. In this parameter, you must specify credentials of a domain user. The user name has the following format: \ or @. The user must be granted the permissions sufficient for the required operation.
If the --target (p. 80) parameter value is another_database or recovery_database, the --items parameter must contain only one database or storage group. If the --target parameter value is original or disk, you can specify several databases and storage groups in the --items parameter. If the parameter is not specified, the software will recover all the databases in a backup. To learn the names of the backed-up storage groups or databases, use the list content (p. 45) command.
Example: "Mailbox Database" Storage group (for Exchange 2003 and 2007) Example: "First Storage Group" Mailbox or public folder For Exchange 2013: / Example: "Mailbox database/John P. Smith" For Exchange 2010: / / Examples: "Mailbox database/John P.
If the backup contains databases of only one instance, you can specify only the database name. Examples: "My Instance" "My Instance/Accountants" Accountants 3.3.6 Access to SQL Server instance Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 can use either SQL Server Authentication or Windows Authentication to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server instance. By default, Windows Authentication is used.
* To establish an active mode FTP connection, use the following notation: aftp://// **Using this format, you can access a tape library or drive only if it is directly attached to the managed machine. You can determine the GUID of this library or drive by using the list tape_libraries (p. 59) command. For a tape library or drive attached to a storage node, a centralized vault should be created on that storage node.
This syntax is the only way to access an archive in command line if the archive's metadata has been lost. If the metadata is intact, the --arc parameter refers to the entire archive. If the metadata is lost, the --arc parameter refers to the backup chain that contains the specified backup. (A backup chain is a full backup and all of its dependent incremental and differential backups.) When using this syntax in a command operating with backups, you still need to specify the --backup (p. 80) parameter.
online:// which is not supported by the export archive and export backup commands. If the --target parameter is not specified, the command will fail. Command: recover exchange_database --target={original|disk|another_database|recovery_database} In the recover exchange_database (p. 35) command, available values of the parameter are as follows: original The software will recover the selected databases or storage groups to their original paths. The paths are taken from the backup.
If all of the selected mailboxes are skipped, the command will fail. pst The software will save the selected mailboxes, public folders or mailbox folders to a Personal Storage Table (.pst) file. If this value is used, you need to specify the --disk_location (p. 101) parameter. If necessary, add the --credentials (p. 115) and --outlookmachine (p. 103) parameters. If the parameter is not specified, the command will fail.
The path to the database whose mailboxes are to be displayed. The parameter is used with the list exchange_mailboxes (p. 32) command. For detailed information about the value format, see "Specifying Exchange data" (p. 76). If the parameter is not specified, the software will display all the mailboxes on an Exchange server. 3.5 3.5.1 Disks and volumes disk Commands: backup disk and backup vm --disk= The parameter is used with the backup disk (p. 19) and backup vm (p.
The software will keep the NT signature of the target disk if it is the same NT signature as the one stored in the backup. (In other words, if you recover the disk to the same disk that was backed up.) Otherwise, the software will generate a new NT signature for the target disk. new The software will generate a new NT signature for the target disk. backup The software will replace the NT signature of the target disk with the one from the backup.
recover disk (p. 20) recover vm (p. 29) The volume whose data is to be recovered from a backup. With the recover disk command, you can specify several volumes. mount (p. 51) The volume to be mounted from a backup. You can specify several volumes. If the --disk (p. 83) parameter is specified, this disk will be recovered. Otherwise, the command will recover all of the backed-up disks. The command will fail. Volume numbers are specified as -.
3.5.4 start --start={s|kb|mb|gb} This parameter specifies the start position of the volume being recovered. If no measurement unit is specified, the offset is measured in megabytes (mb). Use this parameter with the recover disk (p. 20) and recover vm (p. 29) commands when recovering a volume to unallocated space of a hard disk. The --start parameter and the --target_volume (p. 107) parameter are mutually exclusive. If you specify both, an error will occur. 3.5.
The --application_aware parameter and the --raw (p. 92) parameter are mutually exclusive. If you specify both, an error will occur. 3.6.2 backuptype The type of the backup. If not specified, the value is full. Commands: backup disk, backup file, backup vm If the parameter is used with the backup disk (p. 19), backup file (p. 24), and backup vm (p.
Comments on the archive that is specified in the --arc (p. 79) parameter. To view comments on archives, use the list archives (p. 40) command with the -a parameter. backup_comment --backup_comment= Comments on the backup that is specified in the --backup (p. 80) parameter. To view comments on backups, use the list backups (p. 40) command. 3.6.5 copy_only --copy_only The parameter is used with the backup exchange_database (p. 32) command only if the --backuptype (p.
Type this parameter to skip files and folders that have the Hidden attribute (for file systems that are supported by Windows) or that start with a period (.) (for file systems in Linux such as Ext2 and Ext3). If a folder is hidden, all of its contents (including files that are not hidden) will be excluded. Microsoft Exchange Server data backups The following four parameters are used with the backup exchange_mailbox (p. 33) command.
The parameter can be used only if all of the following conditions are met. The --backuptype (p. 87) parameter value is full. The "Deduplication for Microsoft Exchange Server" add-on is installed on the machine with Agent for Exchange that will perform the command. The --loc (p. 78) parameter value is bsp:/// and this vault is deduplicating. The --express and --copy_only (p. 88) parameters are mutually exclusive. 3.6.
The parameter is used with the backup disk (p. 19) command if the --application_aware (p. 86) parameter is specified. The parameter determines the software behavior when it fails to collect application metadata during a backup. For example, this happens if a database is corrupted or the application service is stopped. If the parameter is not specified, the backup will fail. If the parameter is specified, the backup will continue but the application metadata will be ignored.
Without this parameter, each backup will have a unique file name with the exact time stamp and the backup type; for example: MyData_2010_03_26_17_01_38_960D.tib. This standard file naming allows for a wider range of backup destinations and backup schemes. When you back up to a removable device (p. 90), the --plain_archive parameter is not needed. Instead, the --fixed_drive parameter determines whether the standard or simplified naming scheme will be used.
For an Exchange mailbox-level backup - mailboxes, folders, and e-mails. Fast cataloging You may want to set the parameter to fast if the full cataloging tends to affect the performance of the managed machine or if your backup window is too narrow. The following data will be displayed in the catalog: For a disk-level backup - only disks and volumes. For a file-level backup - nothing. For an Exchange database-level backup - only databases or storage groups and mailboxes.
If CBT is enabled for a virtual machine, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 uses CBT according to the CBT settings of individual disks. Otherwise, CBT is not used. Use this value for all backups (including full ones) if you want to preserve your custom CBT settings for virtual machines. off Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 does not use CBT, regardless of the CBT settings for the virtual machines.
This parameter is used if the backup destination (the --loc (p. 78) parameter value) is an internal (fixed) hard disk of the machine being backed up. For other locations, the parameter is ignored. should be a positive number. If the measurement unit is kb, the speed is measured in kilobytes per second. If the measurement unit is p or is not specified, the speed is measured in the percentage of the maximum I/O speed of the destination hard disk.
The metadata will be the most detailed and the backup will take the longest time to complete. Individual e-mails and other items within mailboxes and public folders can be accessed without opening a database. 3.6.14.9 multi_volume_snapshot --multi_volume_snapshot={true|false} This parameter is effective only for Windows operating systems. This parameter is used with the backup disk (p. 19) command. This parameter is also used with the backup file (p. 24) command when the --snapshot (p.
where the contents of the batch file is "net start MSSQLSERVER" 3.6.14.11 snapshot --snapshot={always|possible|none} Defines whether to back up files (p. 24) directly (one by one) or by taking an instant data snapshot. Available values of the parameter are as follows: possible (by default) Create a snapshot if it is possible. Back up files directly if taking a snapshot is not possible. none Do not create a snapshot. Always back up files directly.
3.6.14.14 use_vss --use_vss={auto|software_auto|acronis|native|software|hardware|none} Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) notifies VSS-aware applications that the backup is about to start. This ensures the consistent state of all data being used by such applications. Then, VSS tells a snapshot provider to create the snapshot. You can select the snapshot provider that VSS will use for taking snapshots.
the next differential backup of the SQL Server data will fail. The backups will continue failing until the third-party software creates the next "own" full backup. If other VSS-aware applications are running on the machine and you need to keep their logs for any reason. Using this parameter does not result in the truncation of Microsoft SQL Server logs. To truncate the SQL Server log after a single-pass backup (p. 86), specify the --mssql_truncate_logs (p. 91) parameter. 3.7 3.7.
3.7.3 database_location --database_location= Command: recover exchange_database A folder on the Exchange server to which a database will be recovered. The parameter is used with the recover exchange_database (p. 35) command in the following cases: If the --target (p. 80) parameter value is another_database and the destination database or storage group does not exist. If the --target parameter value is recovery_database.
After the recovery completes, users will have read-only access to the database. The software will undo any uncommitted transactions. However, it will save the undo actions in a temporary standby file so that the recovery effects can be reverted. The standby value is primarily used to detect the point in time when a SQL Server error occurred. When recovering a system database, this parameter is ignored. System databases are always recovered in the recovery state. 3.7.
3.7.8 exclude --exclude= Files and folders to be excluded from the recovery. You can either specify files and folders explicitly or use wildcard characters. Note: Exclusions override selection of data items to recover. For example, if you select to recover file MyFile.tmp and to exclude all .tmp files, file MyFile.tmp will not be recovered. Specify the name of the file or folder, such as Document.txt. The names are not case-sensitive, both in Windows and Linux.
3.7.11 file --file= Files and folders to recover from the file-level backup. If not specified, all contents of the backup are recovered. You can disable recovery of certain files and folders by using the --exclude (p. 102) parameter. A file or folder specified in both the --file and --exclude parameters will be recovered. 3.7.12 log_location --log_location= A folder on the Exchange server where the transaction log files will be recovered.
3.7.15 overwrite Commands: recover file, recover ad_database --overwrite={always|older|never} In the recover file (p. 25) or recover ad_database (p. 39) command, the parameter specifies what to do if the program finds in the target folder a file that has the same name as in the backup. Available values of the parameter are as follows: always (by default) - this will give the file in the backup priority over the file on the hard disk.
log file creation. If there are no log files that include the specified time, the software will use the nearest point from the transaction log file backed up previously. If the point in time is not specified, the operation will fail. 3.7.17 power_on --power_on Power on the target virtual machine when the recovery is complete. 3.7.18 preserve_mbr --preserve_mbr When recovering a volume over an existing one, the target volume is deleted from the disk along with its entry in the target disk MBR.
point_of_failure (by default) The data will be recovered to the state of the most recent transaction log file existing in Exchange. If transaction logs are not available (lost, deleted or corrupted), the data will be recovered to the moment of backup creation. latest_backup The data will be recovered from the latest backup of an archive. point_in_time The data will be recovered to a certain date and time.
3.7.22 target_volume --target_volume= Volume where you will recover data which has been selected in the --volume (p. 84) parameter. The parameter is used with the recover disk (p. 20) and recover vm (p. 29) commands. With the recover disk (p. 20) command, you can specify several volumes. The number of volumes specified in the --target_volume parameter must be the same as the number of volumes specified in the --volume parameter.
3.7.24 use_all_space --use_all_space This parameter is used with the recover disk (p. 20) and recover vm (p. 29) commands if you recover a volume to unallocated space. If specified, the recovered volume will occupy all the unallocated space. Otherwise, the recovered volume size will be the same as in the backup. 3.8 3.8.1 Mounting parameters rw --rw If specified, the backed-up volume will be mounted in the read/write mode.
3.8.3 mount_point Command: mount --mount_point= Directories to mount the volumes to. The parameter is used with the mount (p. 51) command in Linux. If the parameter is not specified or if the number of mount points differs from the number of volumes, the operation will fail. Command: umount --mount_point= The directory to unmount the volume from. The parameter is used with the umount (p. 52) command in Linux. If the parameter is not specified, the operation will fail. 3.9 3.
3.10 Filtering The filtering parameters are used to filter the data retrieved by the listing commands (list activities (p. 63), list archives (p. 40) and others). 3.10.1 content_path The path to the contents inside the backup. The parameter is used with the list content (p. 45) command unless the --content_type (p. 110) parameter value is volume or ad_database. If not specified, the first 5000 root elements will be shown.
Microsoft Exchange Server data backups When viewing the contents of a database-level backup, the applicable values of the parameter are _exchange_database and exchange_mailbox. If the value is exchange_database or if the parameter is not specified, the command will list storage groups and databases contained in the backup. Otherwise, the list of backed up mailboxes and public folders will be shown.
The parameter is used with the list mssql_instances (p. 37) command. If specified, the software will list only instances of those Microsoft SQL Server editions that contain the values you have specified. Without this parameter, instances of any Microsoft SQL Server edition will be displayed.
If the parameter is used with the list tape_libraries (p. 59), list vms (p. 27) or list vmservers (p. 27) command, the software will display objects whose names coincide with the values you have specified. If the parameter is used with the list exchange_mailboxes (p. 32), list mssql_instances (p. 37), or list mssql_databases (p. 37) command, the software will display objects whose names contain the values you have specified. Without this parameter, objects with any name will be displayed. 3.10.
In the list vmservers (p. 27) command, you can specify one or more of the following types: standalone and cluster. 3.10.14 filter_user --filter_user= The parameter is used with the list tasks (p. 68) and list plans (p. 65) commands. If specified, the software will list only tasks that run (or only plans whose tasks run) under the specified user accounts. If not specified, tasks run under any user account will be displayed. 3.10.
Fast inventorying If the parameter value is fast or is not specified, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 scans tapes for barcodes. Using barcodes, the software can quickly return a tape to the pool where it was before. Select this method to recognize tapes used by the same tape device attached to the same machine. Other tapes will be sent to the Unrecognized tapes pool. If your tape library contains no barcode reader, all tapes will be sent to the Unrecognized tapes pool.
acrocmd export archive --loc=bsp://ASN/my_vault --credentials="ASN user",pass1 --arc=my_archive --password=123 --target=\\bkpsrv\backups --credentials=netuser,pass2 This command exports a password-protected archive from a managed vault to a network share. The first credentials are required to access the vault my_vault managed by the storage node ASN. The --password parameter specifies the password for the archive my_archive. The second credentials enable writing to the shared folder \\bkpsrv\backups. 3.
If the parameter is not specified, the command allows interaction with the user. The parameter is mainly intended for the recover lvm_structure (p. 23) command. It automates the recovery of a Linux system, along with its software RAID/LVM structure, to a machine with different logical volume structure or without logical volumes. This command always prompts the user to confirm the replacement of the machine's logical volume structure.
The parameter defines the amount of the network connection bandwidth allocated for transferring the backup data. If the parameter is not specified, the software uses all the network bandwidth it can get when transferring the backup data. You can reserve a part of the network bandwidth for other network activities. should be a positive number. If the measurement unit is kb, the speed is measured in kilobytes per second.
This mode is intended for use as input for a third-party parser. Headers are not visible; column header separator lines are not visible; the column separator is "\t" (tab character). Also, this mode enables you to see the full length of a value that is longer than 20 characters (for example, the GUID of a backup plan). 3.12.11 password --password=,encrypted Password for the archive in the backup and recovery operations, archive and backup management operations.
3.12.14 reboot reboot and reboot later --reboot --reboot --later Reboot the machine before the operation (if required). Use the --reboot parameter when performing the following operations that require a reboot: recovering a volume that contains the currently active operating system, recovering locked files, creating/deleting Acronis Secure Zone on a system disk, cloning a system disk. The machine will be rebooted without a prompt. If neither the --reboot parameter nor the --silent_mode=on (p.
If the parameter is specified, the software will use the default values of backup and recovery options set in the graphical user interface of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5. These values are stored on the machine with the agent that performs the command. On a machine running Windows, the values are stored in the registry; on a machine running Linux, the values are stored in the Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 configuration files.
