1 Command-line utility overview

Acronis Backup supports the command-line interface with the acrocmd utility.

acrocmd does not contain any tools that physically execute the commands. It merely provides the

command-line interface to Acronis Backup components—agents 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 in 64-bit Linux-based bootable media and in PE-based bootable media. When acrocmd is installed on a Mac machine or is accessed under Mac-based bootable media, you need to specify the full path to the utility.

1.1 Installation

Install the command-line utility on the machine from which you prefer to operate (run commands or scripts). The machine may run Windows, Linux, or Mac. From this machine, you can manage other machines running any of these operating systems.

The command-line utility is installed by default with Agent for Windows, Agent for Linux, or Agent for Mac.

In Windows, you can also install the utility separately from the setup file. To do this, in the offline installer click Customize installation settings, and then clear all of the check boxes except for Command-Line Tool.

The default installation paths are:

 %ProgramFiles%\Acronis\CommandLineTool (in Windows)  /usr/lib/Acronis/CommandLineTool (in Linux)  /Library/Application Support/BackupClient/Acronis/sbin (in Mac)

1.2 Syntax

acrocmd has the following format:

acrocmd <command> --<parameter 1>=<value list 1> … --<parameter N>=<value list N>

Typographic conventions

Descriptions of commands and parameters use the following specific typographic conventions.

 Between angle brackets (<>) – information that the user must supply. Example: <IP address or

hostname>

 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=<archive name>, 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

General view

Example

"<value with space character>"

--include="C:\my documents"

\"<value with comma>\"

--include=\"E:\Employees(A,B)\"

"\"<value with space character and comma>\""

--include="\"D:\my photos\my wife, my kids and me\""

the plural. For example, if you see --volume=<volume numbers>, you can specify a list of volume numbers in this parameter.

Separators

An equal sign separates a parameter name and a value list. A comma separates values in a value list.

Example:

acrocmd backup disk --disk=1,2

Enclosing parameter values that contain commas and space characters

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

1.3 Local, remote, and centralized management

Acronis Backup 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=<IP address or hostname> --credentials=<user name>,<password>

Centralized management

This functionality is only available in on-premise deployments of Acronis Backup, i.e. when Acronis Backup Management Server is installed in your local network. For details about types of deployment, refer to the "Installation overview" section of the Acronis Backup help.

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.

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=<ams hostname> --credentials=<user name>,<password>

--service=ams --address=<IP address or hostname>

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=<ams hostname> --credentials=<user name>,<password>

--service=ams

The below diagram shows options of access to a managed machine directly or via Acronis Backup Management Server.

2.3.1.3 recover disk

Recovers the specified disks or volumes.

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. 118)

Parameters

What to recover

--loc=<path> (p. 79)

--credentials=<user name>,<password>,encrypted (p. 110)

--arc=<archive name> (p. 80)

--password=<password>,encrypted (p. 114)

--backup=<backup ID> (p. 81)

--disk=<disk numbers> (p. 83)

--nt_signature={auto|new|backup|existing} (p. 84)

--volume=<volume numbers> (p. 84)

--oss_numbers={true|false} (p. 113)

--mbr_disk=<disk number> (p. 86)

Where to recover

--target_disk=<disk numbers> (p. 102)

--target_volume=<volume numbers> (p. 102)

Recovering disks If the --target_disk parameter is specified, the software will recover each disk specified in

the --disk parameter to the corresponding 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 corresponding 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=<offset>{s|kb|mb|gb} (p. 86)

--size=<volume size>{s|kb|mb|gb} (p. 86)

2.3.1.4 recover mbr

Recovers the MBR from a disk or volume backup.

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. 18) command with either the --disk parameter (the MBR will be recovered automatically) or the --volume, --mbr_disk, and --target_mbr_disk parameters.

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 64-bit Linux-based bootable media. If you are using 32-bit media, either run the command on another machine with the acrocmd utility installed or recover the LVM structure via the graphical user interface.

Before executing the command, ensure 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. 18) 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.

2.3.3.5 backup esxi_config

Creates a backup of an ESXi host configuration. Such a backup enables you to recover the host to bare metal.

The virtual machines running on the host are not included in the backup. They can be backed up and recovered separately.

Examples (p. 121)

Parameters

What to back up

{--vmserver_name=<host name>|--vmserver_id=<host GUID>}

Name or identifier of the ESXi host whose configuration will be backed up. If the software finds more than one host with the same name, an error occurs.

To learn names and identifiers of virtualization hosts, use the list vmservers (p. 24) command.

--credentials=<password>,encrypted

Password for the 'root' account on the selected host.

2.3.3.6 recover vm

Recovers a disk or volume backup onto a new or existing virtual machine.

The recover vm command can be executed by the following agents:

 Agent for VMware recovers a disk (volume) backup to a new or existing ESX(i) virtual machine.  Agent for Hyper-V recovers a disk (volume) backup to a new or existing 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.

Examples (p. 121)

Parameters
