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 (p. 37)".

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.

4.5 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:
