The next execution of the same command will delete the base FAAB backup. By continuing with the 
FAAA and AAA names, you can clear the Acronis Secure Zone except for the last remaining base 
backup that cannot be deleted.

Explore image 

 

The following command will connect all images, stored in file mybackup.tib on the network drive, 
as virtual drives:

Storage node command-line utility 

The 

StorageNodeCmd 

command-line utility provides tools to view and export the archives stored in 

centralized managed vaults, and to import archives to such vaults. 

This utility runs only on a machine where a storage node is installed, and works only with the 
centralized vaults managed by that storage node—called the 

local

 storage node in this section. 

Unlike the 

trueimagecmd 

utility, which provides similar functionality, the 

StorageNodeCmd

 utility 

does not require the agent to be installed on the machine. 

 

1.2.1

 

Supported commands 

The 

StorageNodeCmd

 utility has the following format: 

StorageNodeCmd /command /option1 /option2 ... 

Commands may be accompanied with options.
