Changing the server running Acronis backup and recovery
Hello,
I am running acronis backup advanced 11.7 on a windows server 2012 r2, and now for some reason i have to change the server running Acronis software. i would like to know if there is a way that i can do that without having to lose the policies, configuration and backup plans used earlier. Can these previous configurations somehow be exported to the new server without having to do everything again from scratch?
Thank you,

Hello akram musaad,
How many Agents\centralized backup plans or Acronis Storage Nodes are registered on your current Acronis Management Server? If the environment is not very large I'd recommend installing a new AMS instead of migrating the old one. Thus we can avoid any unpredictable and hard to detect side-effects after moving the old configuration. Then you can re-register all your Agents and centralized components (ASN, License Server) as follows:
- Adding a storage node to a management server
- Use Export and Remove Scripts from the following article to export the addresses of all Machines with Agents to a single .txt file. Then you can import all Agents from this .txt at once.
Thank you,
