For more information about selecting logical volumes in Linux, see Selecting logical volumes and
MD devices for backup (p. 139)
Backing up all dynamic volumes in Windows or all logical volumes in Linux. The backup will be
saved to an FTP server.
acrocmd backup disk --volume=DYN --loc=ftp://srv1/backups
--credentials=ftpuser1,pass1 --arc=alldyn_arc
Backing up a machine to a network shared folder. If the backup succeeds, logs of VSS-aware
applications (except for Microsoft SQL Server) will be truncated after the backup.
acrocmd backup disk --loc=\\srv1\backups --credentials=netuser1,pass1
--arc=my_apps --vss_full_backup
Single-pass disk and application backup
Creating a single-pass backup of the local machine. The backup will be saved to a network shared
folder. Since neither the --vss_full_backup (p. 98) parameter nor the
--mssql_truncate_logs (p. 91) parameter is specified, logs of VSS-aware applications will
not be truncated. If the software fails to collect the application metadata, the backup will
continue.
acrocmd backup disk --application_aware --loc=\\srv1\backups
--credentials=netuser1,pass1 --arc=machine1_app --ignore_app_errors
The user who runs the command must be a member of the sysadmin role on each of the
instances installed on the machine.
Creating a single-pass backup of a remote machine. The backup will be saved to a vault on a
storage node. Microsoft SQL Server logs will be truncated after each backup. Logs of other
VSS-aware applications will not be truncated. If the software fails to collect the metadata of any
application, the backup will fail because the --ignore_app_errors (p. 90) parameter is not
specified.
acrocmd backup disk --host=192.168.1.2 --credentials=user1,pass1
--application_aware --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --arc=my_archive_app
--mssql_truncate_logs
The user whose credentials are specified after the --host parameter must be a member of the
sysadmin role on each of the instances installed on the machine. If there is no such user, you
may access the machine through the management server:
acrocmd backup disk --host=srv1 --credentials="srv1\AMS user",pass --service=ams
--address=192.168.1.2 --application_aware --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault
--arc=my_archive_app --mssql_truncate_logs
In this case, the command will be executed under the account of the agent service running on
the machine.
Recovering disks and volumes (p. 20)
Recovering disks
Recovering a machine from the latest backup of an archive residing on a network share. Since
neither the --disk (p. 83) nor the --volume (p. 84) parameter is specified, the command will
recover all of the backed-up disks. Since neither the --target_disk (p. 106) nor the
--target_volume (p. 107) parameter is specified, the software will automatically map the
disks to the target machine's disks. If you run the command in the operating system, a reboot
prompt will be displayed.
