Acronis Management Console Questions/Issues
I have 30 seats and have purchased a dedicated 2U server to run the Management Console. I need the ability to copy a .tib from the server to a USB hard drive and take that with the bootable media into the field and load an image. My issue/complaint is that when using the Vault, the folders created for each machine have long weird names (like 219E7A09-29B3-4259-9BBA-57D83BA5796B.1EED2C29-042D-4FEE-9FFC-0B7F93F998F5) and even the .tib files themselves have weird names (like__2012_12_19_17_23_36_573U.tib). This makes it impossible to manually browse the Vault and find a specific image. Why can't the console just keep it simple and use the computer names? Is there a way to make it do that?
I could live with just using the console to locate specific .tib files and export them, BUT I done a test export through the console to an external USB drive and it took 95min to complete. I knew the file size of the .tib so I was eventually able to locate the same .tib manually browsing into the Vault folders and doing a manual file copy, the very same .tib copied in 16min. I am in a time critical environment and would like to know why exporting through the console interface took 95min to do the same thing I done manually in 16min.

Management Console was not the correct term I guess. The server is setup as a management server and I run the console software on my desktop computer. I have the OS,programs,page file, etc on a mirrored raid set. The server also has a raid 6 array with 5x3TB drives and a hot spare used solely for the Vault. Not being able to browse the vault is a huge disappointment.

Lee,
Why not use the catalogue feature from within ABR11.5 using the management console, won't that do what you want?

Lee,
So, you need the ability to copy a .tib from the server to a USB hard drive and take that with the bootable media into the field and load an image.
You can do this on conditions that:
1) The .tib contains a full backup (if it is incremental or differential one, you have to export anyway)
2) When backing up, you've selected the 'Simplified file naming' option http://www.acronis.com/support/documentation/ABR11.5/index.html#10483.h… This option has many limitations though. In particular, it is not available if your vault is managed by Storage Node.
