the --credentials parameter is not needed after the --destination_instance
parameter. Otherwise, you need to specify the sysadmin credentials.
4.1.6 Microsoft Active Directory
Backing up a domain controller
This operation is performed by using the backup disk (p. 19) command. See the examples in the
"Disks and volumes" (p. 121) section under "Single-pass disk and application backup."
Recovering Microsoft Active Directory data (p. 39)
Extracting Microsoft Active Directory data as files from the latest backup of an archive residing
on a network share. The files will be saved to a local folder. Since the --overwrite (p. 104)
parameter is not specified, the existing files will be overwritten.
acrocmd recover ad_database --loc=\\srv1\backups --credentials=netuser1,pass1
--arc=machine1_app --target=E:\ad_db
Extracting Microsoft Active Directory data as files from a backup stored in a vault on a storage
node. The files will be saved to a network share. The existing files will not be overwritten. The
original dates of the files will be preserved.
acrocmd recover ad_database --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault
--credentials=bkpuser,pass --arc=my_archive_app
--backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --target=\\share\active_dir\new
--credentials=netuser2,pass2 --overwrite=never --original_date
4.2 Operations with archives and backups
4.2.1 Archives
Listing archives (p. 40)
Listing archives in a managed vault. Since the --all parameter is specified, all fields will be
output for each archive: name; creation date; machine whose data is contained in the archive;
owner (the user who saved the archive to the destination); occupied space in bytes; and
comments on the archive.
acrocmd list archives --all --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --credentials="ASN
user",pass123
Exporting archives (p. 41)
Exporting a password-protected archive stored in a shared folder to a local folder.
acrocmd export archive --loc=\\bkpsrv\backups --credentials=netuser1,pass
--arc=my_archive --password=123 --target=E:\copies --target_arc=my_archive_copy
Exporting all archives from a managed vault to a shared folder.
acrocmd export archive --loc=bsp://storage_node/my_vault --credentials="ASN
user",pass --target=\\bkpsrv\backups --credentials=netuser,pass2
The first credentials must belong to an administrator of the specified vault, in order to enable
access to all archives stored there. The second credentials enable writing to the shared folder.
Exporting archives from a managed vault is always executed by the storage node service. In the
above example, the mms service running on the local machine will transmit the command to the
