Note: The tasks that back up data to Acronis Backup Server or validate archives stored on it will not be imported to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10. If you have such tasks, see "What can I do with tasks related to Acronis Backup Server?" in the section “What else you may need to know (p. 8)". 4.3.1 Importing all tasks at once To import the old tasks, use Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Upgrade Tool: 1.
The old options are imported as follows: Notifications is imported as Notifications in both Default backup options and Default recovery options.

How can I access backup archives stored on Acronis Backup Server? If your stand-alone edition of Acronis True Image Echo backed up data to the backup server, the easiest way to retrieve it is to export all the necessary backups to a network share before starting the upgrade. After upgrade, consider creating a personal vault of this network share to facilitate access to the backups. Copyright © Acronis, Inc.
