Use the Upgrade tool to import all backup and validation tasks at once or to import individual tasks.
Note:
The tasks that back up data to Acronis Backup Server or validate archives stored on it will not be imported
to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10. If you have such tasks, see "What can I do with tasks related to Acronis
Backup Server?" in the section “What else you may need to know (p. 8)".
4.3.1
Importing all tasks at once
To import the old tasks, use Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Upgrade Tool:
1.
Change the current directory to:
/usr/lib/Acronis/UpgradeTool
2.
Run the following command:
./UpgradeTool.sh Agent
Result:
Tasks that were present in Acronis True Image Echo are converted to Acronis Backup & Recovery
10 tasks and appear in the
Backup plans and tasks
view.
Each backup task's schedule, items to back up, and backup destination are the same as before;
but to perform further backups, the task will create a new archive (starting from a full backup).
Each backup task is part of a
backup plan
. You can edit the backup plan to change the task's
schedule or other parameters.
4.3.2
Importing individual tasks
Acronis True Image Echo stores each task as a .tis file. By default, these files are located in the
directory
/etc/Acronis/TrueImage/Scripts
.
The names of the .tis files are Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs), such as 6AED5F49-7EED-4E3E-
939E-19360A44137F.tib.tis. Each file has the XML format. The
<display>
tag in the file specifies the
task name as it appears in the list of tasks.
To import a task
1.
Determine the file name of the task that you want to import—for example, by examining the
content of the
<display>
tag.
2.
Change the current folder to the one where the upgrade tool is installed.
3.
Run the following command, specifying the task's file name:
./UpgradeTool.sh Script -f /etc/Acronis/TrueImage/Scripts/6AED5F49-7EED-4E3E-
939E-19360A44137F.tib.tis"
As a result, the task is imported as an Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 task and becomes part of a
backup plan.
4.4
Importing old options
The upgrade tool enables you to import the default backup options, default restoration options,
notification options, and event tracing options of Acronis True Image Echo to the default backup and
recovery options of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.
To import the old options:
1.
Change the current directory to the one where the upgrade tool is installed.
2.
Run the following command:
./UpgradeTool.sh Options
