asn service. If you want to run the same command directly on the storage node (where no mms is
running), specify the "ASN user" credentials after the storage node host:
acrocmd export archive --host=storage_node --credentials="ASN user",pass
--service=asn --loc=bsp://storage_node/my_vault --target=\\bkpsrv\backups
--credentials=netuser,pass2
 Importing an archive from a local folder of the storage node to a managed vault.
Usage scenario: create an archive with an initial full backup on a removable device, bring this
device to the remote location where a storage node is installed, and then import the archive to a
managed vault. After that, you can direct or replicate the subsequent incremental backups to the
managed vault over the network.
acrocmd export archive --host=storage_node --credentials="ASN user",pass
--service=asn --loc=E:\folder --arc=my_archive
--target=bsp://storage_node/my_vault --progress
In this example, the parameter value --service=asn is used because the archive is imported
from the local folder of the storage node. When importing an archive from a network share, you
can make any service (asn, mms or ams) execute the command. However, the asn service is the
most appropriate executor if you want to off-load the import from the agent installed on the
production server.
Validating an archive (p. 42)
 Validating all backups of an archive.
acrocmd validate archive --loc=E:\backups\ --arc=my_archive
Cataloging an archive (p. 42)
 Cataloging all the backups of an archive stored in a shared folder.
acrocmd catalog archive --loc=\\bkpsrv\backups --credentials=netuser,pass
--arc=my_archive
Deleting an archive (p. 43)
 Deleting an archive.
acrocmd delete archive --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --credentials="ASN
user",pass123 --arc=my_archive
4.2.2 Backups
Listing backups (p. 44)
 Listing backups of an archive stored in a local folder. The output will be displayed in the raw
format (p. 118). Therefore, you will be able to see and use complete GUIDs of backups.
acrocmd list backups --loc=E:\backups\ --arc=my_archive --output=raw
 Listing backups of an archive stored in a managed vault and saving the complete output to a text
file. This allows you to use GUIDs of backups in scripts.
In the following example, the output in the raw format (p. 118) is redirected to a text file.
acrocmd list backups --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --credentials="ASN
user",pass123 --arc=my_archive --output=raw > c:\GUID.txt
In the following example, the operation log, including the output data, is written to a text file in
the structured xml format.
acrocmd list backups --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --credentials="ASN
user",pass123 --arc=my_archive --log=c:\log.txt
