Command line export - include pit 0
I have a question about the command line StorageNodeCmd /export /include_pits:0 option.
Does the /include_pits:0 exports the complete latest backup (eg. latest full+latest diff+latest 4 inc, etc) or is it just the last backup (eg. latest incremental)?
How does it deal with deduplication? Is the resulting export backup completely independent of the deduplication store?
Hi,
I have been successfully using the export function with ABR 10, but now i would like to use this process on ABR 11. What would be the syntax or procedure to export the whole chain since last full backup into a single file by using the acrocmd utility?
I was using this command line syntax in ABR10 with include_pits=0:
StorageNodeCmd /export /vault:"bsp://server1/DedupVault1" /arc_id:"%s" /include_pits:0 /target_vault:"%s" /target_arc:"%s"
(taken from a script with vars)
Thanks!

Hello Jan,
Tank you for your reply.
First I want show you the Page for the Online Help of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11. At this page, you will find the information about Backward compatibility. There you will find the complete syntax for the acrocmd command line utility.
Regarding to your question, you should find the requested information here.
Let me know if you need additional help please.
Thank you.
I have already looked through all the help and PDF files that you have, hence using the forum as i cannot find the answer.
I cannot find the equivalent for the command in ABR10, where the whole chain was converted into a SINGLE backup file by using the PIT=0 option.
The ACROCMD function (EXPORT ARCHIVE) export every backup from archive or i would need to specify each backup manually, which does not work for me in an automated environment.
Currently i am using this ACROCMD to export the backups, but this exports them all with unneeded old full and inc/dif backups:
acrocmd export archive --service=asn --host=server1 --credentials=user1,pass1 --loc=bsp://server1/BackupVault --credentials=user1,pass1 --target=K:\BackupCopy\ --progress
How can i export only the complete chain since the last FULL backup, as equivalent to the PIT=0 in ABR10?
Thanks for your help!

Hi, Jan
acrocmd export backup --service=asn --host=server1 --credentials=user1,pass1 --loc=bsp://server1/BackupVault --credentials=user1,pass1 --arc=YourArchive --target=K:\BackupCopy\ --progress
This will export the last backup of archive YourArchive.
What you are doing, is exporting the entire vault. Because you use the "export archive" command and do not specify the archive, the command is applied to all archives stored in the vault.
Thanks, that did the trick! In the manual it states this option will export the latest backup, which i assumed meant the last performed, such as differential. This option does export the whole chain up to the full backup, so all is good.
Hello Everyone,
according to the last post from Jan, the issue is resolved.
So I close this thread.
Thank you for your help.
