Document all Backup Plans and Settings

Plans can be exported only one-by-one. You can automate this process using command line utility - first list get all plans' ids using "acrocmd list plans" and then export them with "acrocmd export plan" command.

Hello, I was wondering, if I wanted to export all the backup plans stored on the AMS, I would need to install the Acronis Backup client on the server machine, correct, thus providing another licence, correct?

Is there any other way to do this?

I've tried:
acrocmd list plans --host=AMS_server

but the command fails. Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Luka

If you need to export plans stored on AMS, you need to instruct the commandline utility to connect to the AMS service with --service parameter :

If it still fails, please provide the exact error message in the command's output.

Hello Fedor,

the service switch did the trick. I am able to get the list of plans and their IDs.
Is there a way to export all the plans, without the need to specify an "acrocmd export plan" for every single one of them
(at that point it should be simpler to do it through the GUI).

p.s. I am asking this since an in-place Acronis build upgrade in a test environment (which would preserver all the plans) didn't go well, since the Acronis Management Server service wasn't starting. Thus I am planning to do a cleanup of the existing installation and then a fresh install and then importing of all the existing jobs.

Many thanks!

Unfortunately there is no mass export command in Management Console either. If you have a list of plan IDs , it should not be a problem to run a script for each (e.g. using 'for /f' from built-in windows cmd shell)

I will try this, many thanks
