10.1.3.1 Editing the export file

The export file is an .xml file and can be edited with a text editor.

Here is how to make some useful changes.

How to modify credentials

In the export file, the <login> tags include the user name and the <password> tags include the

user password.

To modify credentials, change the <login> and <password> tags in the corresponding sections:

 plan's credentials - the <plan><options><common_parameters> section

 access credentials for the backed up data - the <plan><targets><inclusions> section

 access credentials for the backup destination - the <plan><locations> section.

Pay special attention to modifying the <password> tag. The tag that contains an encrypted

password looks like <password encrypted="true">...</password>.

To change the encrypted password

1. In the command line, run the acronis_encrypt utility:

acronis_encrypt UserPassword#1

(here UserPassword#1 is the password you want to encrypt).

2. The utility outputs a string, for example "XXXYYYZZZ888".

3. Copy this string and paste it into the tag as follows:

<password encrypted="true">XXXYYYZZZ888</password>

The acronis_encrypt utility is available on any machine where Acronis Backup & Recovery 11

Management Console is installed. The path to the utility is as follows:

 %ProgramFiles%/Common Files/Acronis/Utils - in 32-bit Windows

 %ProgramFiles(x86)%/Common Files/Acronis/Utils - in 64-bit Windows

 /usr/sbin - in Linux

How to make a backup plan use the agent's credentials

Before importing or deploying the export file, delete the value of the required <login> tag. Then

the imported or deployed plan will use credentials of the agent service.

Example

To make the backup plan run under the agent's credentials, find the <login> tag in the
