Moving backups to another storage node
Hello, I want to move backups from one storage node to another. Are backups portable? I have copied 'computers' and '.meta' dirctories to new storage node, than i register the new storage node in management server. When i tried to add location with my data i received error message: The location is currently managed by storage node 'D906A9EB-A3CE-409B-ACCB-F8E2C219E3C4'. If you attach it to '. backups directed to 'D906A9EB-A3CE-409B-ACCB-F8E2C219E3C4' will fail. What should I do now? I have completely no idea.

Hello Maria,
I have other case. I want to move (or just copy) a vault between Storage Nodes under different Management Servers.
Maybe I can manualy edit Storage Node ID somewhere in metadata. Does Acronis support this action?

Hello Oskar!
It's not advised to manually modify those files, however you don't have to.
If you have deduplication see this thread: https://forum.acronis.com/forum/acronis-backup-125/migrate-125-advanced-dedup-vaults-new-servers
If not: https://kb.acronis.com/content/61149

As Peter has correctly answered, it is not recommended. However, you can open a case with Acronis Support Team and request a remote session so that expert support engineers could manually edit these data.
