 The Acronis True Image Echo agents and local versions are replaced with Acronis Backup &

Recovery 10 components.

Upgrading tasks

You might want to import the old backup tasks and validation tasks to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.

If you do not import them, these tasks will no longer run.

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.

You can import the old tasks at the time of agent installation (see the installation instructions earlier

in this section), or later by using Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Upgrade Tool. This command-line

utility is located in the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 installation directory, in the UpgradeTool

subdirectory.

In Windows:

1. Change the current folder to the folder where the upgrade tool is installed—by default:

C:\Program Files\Acronis\UpgradeTool

If Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is installed in a folder other than the default folder, change the

path accordingly.

2. Run the following command (note capitalization):

cscript UpgradeTool.vbs Agent

In Linux:

1. Change the current directory to: /usr/lib/Acronis/UpgradeTool

2. Run the following command:

UpgradeTool.sh Agent

Result:

 Tasks that were present in Acronis True Image Echo, are converted to Acronis Backup & Recovery

10 tasks and appear in the Backup plans and tasks view.

 Each backup task's schedule, items to back up, and backup destination are the same as before,

but the task will create a new archive to perform further backups.

 Each backup task is part of a backup plan. You can edit the backup plan to change the task's

schedule or other parameters.

 The tasks' log entries are not imported.

Importing old options

The upgrade tool enables you to import the default backup options, default restoration options,

notification options, and event tracing options of Acronis True Image Echo to the default backup and

recovery options of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.

To import the old options (both in Windows and Linux):

1. Change the current folder (directory) to the one where the upgrade tool is installed.

2. In Windows, run the following command:

cscript UpgradeTool.vbs Options

In Linux, run the following command:

./UpgradeTool.sh Options
