Installation guide

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

To import the group server's group tasks

1. On the machine where the management server is installed, log on as a member of the

Administrators group.

2. Change the current folder to the folder where the upgrade tool is installed—by default:

C:\Program Files\Acronis\UpgradeTool

If Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is installed in a folder other than the default folder, change the

path accordingly.

3. If the group server and the management server are installed on the same machine, run the

following command (note capitalization):

cscript UpgradeTool.vbs GS [-r]

(the optional parameter -r is described below). Otherwise, run the following command:

cscript UpgradeTool.vbs GS MachineName -u UserName [-p Password] [-r]

Description of parameters:

MachineName

Specifies the name or IP address of the machine where the group server is installed.

-u UserName

Specifies the user name of a member of the Administrators group on the MachineName

machine.

-p Password

Specifies the password for the UserName user. If you skip this parameter, the upgrade tool

will prompt you for a password.

-r

Effective only if you are planning to upgrade the machines' tasks—see "Upgrading Acronis

True Image Echo agents and local versions".

This parameter prohibits the conversion of local backup plans, resulting from the upgrade of

group tasks on a machine, to centralized backup plans. When this parameter is specified,

local backup plans resulting from upgrade of group tasks on a machine, will remain local after

the machine is registered on the management server. Otherwise, the management server will

convert them to centralized backup plans and establish correspondence between these

centralized plans and the policy resulting from the group task upgrade.

Result:

• The imported group tasks become the management server's backup policies and appear in the

Backup policies view.

• (After you upgraded tasks on a machine and if you did not specify the -r parameter.) When a

machine to which a group task was originally applied registers on the management server, the

corresponding backup policy will become applied to that machine.
