[Resolved] acrocmd.exe : possible regression in 11.0.17311 ?
I use a batch script like the following weekly to copy a backup to an RDX drive, at R:\ :
"C:\Program Files\Acronis\CommandLineTool\acrocmd.exe" delete archive --loc=R:\ --arc=ARCHIVE
echo O| "C:\Program Files\Acronis\CommandLineTool\acrocmd.exe" replicate backup --loc=\\NAS\acronis_share\ --credentials=NAS\user,"password" --arc=ARCHIVE --target=R:\ --target_arc=ARCHIVE
"C:\Program Files\Acronis\CommandLineTool\acrocmd.exe" validate archive --loc=R:\ --arc=ARCHIVE
"C:\scripts\EjectMedia.exe" R:
This worked fine for a couple months. Then I upgraded to 'R0' (11.0.17311). Came in today to find the scheduled task had failed:
Total time: 00:00:36
An error occurred while executing the command.
Error code: 0x1510008
Tag: 0x7A8E520180FDC06F
TOL: Failed to execute the command. The 'Replication' command copies the specified backups from one archive to another.
Error code: 0x1350016
TraceLevel = 1 (0x1),
$module = "C:\Program Files\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\mms.exe"
Tag: 0x8D165E86FB81961C
Failed to resolve the secondary location. Location: 'R:\'; Archive: 'ARCHIVE'.
Error code: 0x175000B
Tag: 0xDFD7515541030CA2
TOL: Failed to execute the command. This command resolves the secondary location for the backup replication.
Error code: 0x1350016
TraceLevel = 1 (0x1),
$module = "C:\Program Files\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\mms.exe"
Tag: 0x8D165E86FB81961C
Cannot find the specified archive.
Error code: 0xA10007
IsReturnCode = 1 (0x1)
Tag: 0xA110F03A4AA48DBB
Exporting a backup ('export backup') is still working. The 'replicate backup' is what stopped working. I need the 'replicate backup', because it works at the archive level, and lets me simply delete & validate backups via acrocmd also.
Any insight appreciated. Live chat didn't prove fruitful.
Thanks,

Hello Matt,
Thank you for posting. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.
Could you please provide additional information about the R:\ path that you are using. Is it a mapped drive? Can you access it from Windows? Just in case, we have a KB article that explains how to work with mapped drives in Acronis software.
Looking forward to your reply and if you have additional questions please let me know.
Thank you.

Hi Anton,
R:\ is a removable storage RDX drive (Tandberg, USB 3.0). It is locally connected. I will reiterate this only occurs in the new build (17311), which is why I consider it a regression.
Thanks,

I finally got a response from support a month later:
I am following up our case 01301228, describing that you were not able to replicate the backup archive using command line.
I apologize for the delayed response. We just received an update from our Expert team that we will not be able to replicate a backup archive which is deleted from the source location. And they recommended you to run the replication command first and then run the deletion command for deleting the old backup archive. And this should resolve your issue.
Also I would like to inform you that the replication process is like copying and pasting the file from one location to another. And we will not be able to run that by deleting the archive first. And if you are trying to delete the backup archive and then move the backup to a different location you should have used the export command which was working as per your description.
I'm at a loss. This doesn't answer my issue at all. How can I get in touch with someone who is able to understand the issue and get it fixed in the next release?

Matt,
Have you gotten a solution to this problem? I'm also having the same problem. It's only occuring with the RDX drive though. Here is my command (which actual values replaced):
acrocmd replicate backup --loc="bsp://<buildmachine/vault>" --credentials="<user,pass>" --arc="<the_archive>" --target="P:\Export" --progress
Where the P: drive is my RDX drive. If I change target to --target="C:\temp", for example, the replication works fine. I've also noticed that --target="C:\" or --target="C:" fails as well with the same error "Failed to resolve the secondary location".
I also tried sharing my RDX drive and using a UNC path to access it, such as --target="\\buildmachine\export", which fails as well.

Hello SDS_Ed,
Thank you for your comment.
I understand your concern. But I'm afraid we will not be able to post a solution here once it's available, as this issue is not a common one, and there's no common solution. Each case is unique and should be investigated separately. I would advise you to gather Acronis Info, the description of exact sequence of steps performed and open a support request with these details specified.
Let us know if you have any additional questions, we will be glad to assist you.
Thank you.

Hey Ed,
Sorry I haven't been watching these forums closely. There's no solution yet, other than running the initial 17217 build. This has supposedly been sent to QA/Development for investigation. I heard back from the expert level tech this morning saying that there's no update yet, but he'll let me know. 17217 has its own quirks, but it's what I'm stuck with for now.

Took a while, but I can confirm this is now fixed in R0.5 (17437)
