Hi,

I have create a Acronis storage gateway with local backend storage, and have been working for a while. after that, we change it to OpenStack backend storage (from IBM softlayer). both configure file acronis-storage-gateway.xml and acornis-storage-backend-swift.xml has been modify as per implementation guide. after that, I have re-register it to the cloud backup console, restart both acronis-storage-gateway and acronis-storage-mds service. but the service acronis-storage-gateway are fail with status "active (exited)". below are the error log from journalctl and systemctl. please advise if anybody have an idea, thanks!

 systemctl -l status acronis-storage-gateway

I have a question about this.  We have a similar wish to be able to move to a different backend.  For the sake of example, if we have a lot of data that has been backed up to a local storage (for example NFS or file share) and now we would like to migrate all of that to a cloud (for example S3), can that be done?  Please tell me yes or I will be very very sad...

I await your good news...

Hello Andrew,

Good news are your wish is basically possible! We can use acrocmd commands to replicate backups from a local storage to a cloud-based location. To do so, you'll need

1. Create a Partner Account in Acronis Backup Cloud.
2. Install Acronis Storage Gateway on a Linux machine and register it in the same Partner group.
3. Tie Acronis Storage Gateway to Amazon S3 (Configuring the gateway).
4. Create a Customer group and a User account in this group.
5. Then install an Agent that will perform replication (you can install it to the same machine with Acronis Storage Gateway or to another machine in the same environment) and register it in the Customer group. The Agent should have access to the storage.
6. On the machine with the Agent find acrocmd and run the following command

acrocmd replicate backup --loc=\\server\share --credentials=netuser,netpassword --arc=archive_name --target=online:// --credentials=abclogin,abcpassword

Where archive_name — name of the archive in the local storage, netuser and netpassword — credentials for the local storage,  abclogin and abcpassword — login and password of User account, that we have registered in the Customer group earlier.

Not so good news are this command doesn't allow to replicate the whole archive, only the last backup in the chain..However, you can select which backup slice to replicate using the commands from https://www.acronis.com/en-gb/support/documentation/AcronisBackup_11.7/… 

I hope, this helps..We've also passed your scenario to the product team, so hopefully we'll have the ability to migrate data to Cloud in the future versions.
