Retrieve applied backup plans from the client?
So, I have Acronis 12.5 and Backup Monitor deployed to Windows workstations.
And I'm hoping to deploy a script or custom tools to let the users choose when exactly to launch the backup (I.e. "click here") due to working hours being all over the place. My current plan is to use the Event log trigger and simply write some custom event logs to trigger the backup. That's fine.
But I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve the backup plans applied for that specific PC? From the client side?
So far, I'm not finding much looking at the acrocmd CLI reference or Windows registry.
I would hope to have the option of having multiple backup plans trigger this way. But letting users view the specific plans and choose which they want to launch.

Hello Jordan!
For such a use case you probably need a tool that assembles the appropriate acrocmd cli commands and call them.
You can list the applied plans with "acrocmd list plans" if you also install the CLI on the clients. There's also "list tasks" with a plan-guid filter and "run task".
For a similar solution take a look at this: https://kb.acronis.com/content/63908
