Exporting backups between Storage Nodes

Thread needs solution

I want to export a backup to another storage node. Currently, I can export a backup from an unmanaged vault to a managed vault in the AMS. I can export a backup from a managed vault to an unmanaged vault in the AMS. But I CAN'T export a backup from a managed vault to another managed vault in the AMS.

I *can* connect directly to one of the VM Appliances and do the export, but I can't do it from the AMS, this seems like a very poor decision/oversight. Any chances of that getting fixed?

Hello Carl,

Thank you for posting this question.

I checked you other post also, and ask you to take a look to this thread.

It is by default not possible to export backups or archives and import them into another Acronis Storage Node.

Please see this article about staging in our knowledge base, also this link to the online help, about command line tool.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.

Hello Carl,
to export only one backup from ASN1 to ASN2, try the command like this (on any machine where the ABR11 command-line utility is installed):
acrocmd export backup --host=storage_node1 --credentials="ASN1 user",pass --service=asn --loc=bsp://storage_node1/vault1 --arc=my_archive --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --target=bsp://storage_node2/vault2 --credentials="ASN2 user",pass --target_arc=my_archive_copy
