API for querying Acronis 12.5 Management Server

Thread needs solution

I current have an ABR 11.5 management server hosting about 300 ABR Advanced Workstation Windows 7 clients. The ABR server uses MS SQL server backend and I have created several custom reports by querying the various tables in the Acronis_CMS and Acronis_Reports databases.

Now I am testing a new 12.5 environment to migrate to and I discovered the management server no longer appears to use a SQL DB to hold the client data, etc so my reports are now useless.

Is there any documentation of an API or web service that I can use to query the database that holds the client data in 12.5 mgmt server?

I'm specifically looking for things like a list of clients of the mgmt server and when their last and next backups were scheduled.

thanks

Pete

Hi

By default, AMS is working using SQLite db - it is embedded database. But during installation it is possible to set up AMS to use external Microsoft SQL Server (as was in 11.5). After that you can connect to the SQL database and retrieve needed information.

But, if you need only information about machines, their last and next backups, then you can just schedule embedded report in the web interface. See screenshots below:

Argh. I didn't click the options to see that I could indeed use SQL 2012 or later.

Thanks for pointing that out Ramil!
