2 issues with acrocmd (Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 Build: 16327)
Hello all,
I have two issues I need some help with.
1. We use a Script that has to be started manualy to backup two machines which can´t be done with the normal backup plans/scheduling as we can only backup them when we get a maintenance window from our production.
The Script mounts a networkshare and creates a backup there with that command: "acrocmd.exe backup disk --loc=\\networkstorage\backupshare --credentials=domain\username,password --arc=%Computername%A
--password --backuptype=full --archive_format=11 --encryption=none --progress" and after that disconnects the share again.
So far so good, but both machines are listed as not protected on the Acronis Management Server because no backup plan has been created, which can´t be done as mentioned before and no scheduled backup has been created.
Is it possible to create the backup with acrocmd and register it on the server, so he shows the machines as protected?
2. It is not possible to create a backup with acrocmd without specifying the --password parameter as it returns an error otherwise.
However no password has to be added after the parameter but the backup shows up with a lock symbol in the backup list under the storage location on the server.
According to your documentation the password parameter shoudn´t be mandatory. Perhaps a bug in the latest version?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Andreas

Hello Peter,
1) I will try creating a plan without schedule and start that plan via script. We need the script solution because people without access to the server should be able to start the backup. The script itself will be compiled as an Executable, so nobody can read user and password. We can´t use a schedule because the 2 machines are very sensitive.
2) Then it was because of the --encryption=none parameter.
Thanks for your help.
Greetings
Andreas
