1.11.5. Upgrading Acronis Backup Server to Acronis Backup &

Recovery 10 Storage Node

You can install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node on the same machine as the Acronis

Backup Server, or on a different machine.

If you want to import the backup server's locations as the storage node's centralized vaults, you must

install the storage node on the same machine as the backup server.

Importing the backup server's locations as centralized vaults facilitates access to the Acronis True

Image Echo archives stored in them. No Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 archives can be created in

these vaults.

To install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node

1. Run the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 setup file.

2. In the list of components to install, select the Storage Node check box.

3. To be able to import the backup server's locations, select the Upgrade Tool check box.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

To import the backup server's locations

1. On the machine where the storage node 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. Run the following command:

cscript UpgradeTool.vbs BS

Result:

• The backup server's backup locations are the storage node's centralized vaults.

• If the storage node is registered on the management server, these centralized vaults will appear

on the management server in the Vaults view.

• Each centralized vault is named according to the backup location's folder.

• Each centralized vault displays all archives currently present in the corresponding backup

location.

Coexistence of the backup server and the storage node

Suppose that both the backup server and the storage node are installed and operational on the same

machine, and that you imported the backup server's locations as the storage node's centralized

vaults. In this case:

• The backup server continues working as before: Acronis True Image Echo components can back

up data to and recover data from the locations; the backup server cleans up the location

according to quotas and time limits.
