Command Line & ESX Appliance

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I'm have a centralised unmanaged vault which contains a number archives in which are a series of Full and Incremental backups. Periodically I want to be able to run a script to convert the incrementals to full but the problem is the command line won't work against the Acronis Management Server. Presumably, in the same way I would approach this in the GUI (i.e. connect to the ESX Appliance and run Convert to Full from there) I need to run the command against the appliance also?

When I try either of the the following commands

acrocmd convert full --host="IP of Acronis ESX Appliance" --loc=\\NAS IP\SharedFolder --credentials=root,rootpassword --arc=ArchiveName --password=[EncryptionPassword --backup=GUID of incremental

acrocmd convert full --host="IP of Acronis ESX Appliance" --loc=\\NAS IP\SharedFolder --credentials=domain\DomainAdmin,password --arc=ArchiveName --password=[EncryptionPassword --backup=GUID of incremental

I get this error

Warning: The versions of the command-line tool (11.5.38573) and the agent (0.0.0) are different

I think the syntax is correct but I'm at a loss as to what credentails I should use.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Hi  

You didn't specify credentials to the Virtual Appliance.

Try the following: 

acrocmd convert full --host="IP of Acronis ESX Appliance" --credentials=vSphereUser,vSpherePassword --loc=\\NAS IP\SharedFolder --credentials=root,rootpassword --arc=ArchiveName --password=[EncryptionPassword --backup=GUID of incremental

vSphereUser and vSpherePassword are credentials using which Virtual Appliance connected to ESX(i) or vCenter
