Backing up files and folders

• Backing up a file. The backup will be saved to a local folder.

  acrocmd backup file --include=C:\documents\my_thesis.doc --loc=E:\backups\my_thesis --arc=my_thesis

• Creating a backup of network shared folders. The backup will be saved to a local folder. The archive will be protected by a password and encrypted.

  acrocmd backup file --include=\\srv1\folder1 \\srv2\folder2 --password=123 --encryption=aes256 --loc=D:\backups --arc=my_archive

• Creating a backup of a local folder. The backup will be saved to a vault on a storage node. The disk snapshot must be taken. If taking a snapshot is not possible, the backup will fail.

  acrocmd backup file --include=D:\documents --snapshot=always --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --arc=my_archive

• Backing up the user home directory in Linux. The backup will be saved to a SAMBA share.

  acrocmd backup file --include=/home/anna --loc=\\bkpsrv\backups\anna --credentials=netuser1,pass1 --arc=home_dir

• Creating a backup of a local folder. The backup will be placed to an online storage, with encryption enabled.

  acrocmd backup file --include=c:\work --password=123 --encryption=aes256 --loc=online:// --credentials="user@mail.com",pass --arc=my_archive

Recovering files and folders

• Recovering a file from a backup stored in a local folder to the original folder. Since the --overwrite parameter is not specified, the existing file will be overwritten.

  acrocmd recover file --loc=E:\backups\my_thesis --arc=my_thesis --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --file=C:\documents\my_thesis.doc

• Recovering a folder and its contents from the latest backup of an archive residing in Acronis Secure Zone to a local folder.

  acrocmd recover file --loc=atis:///asz --arc=my_archive --file=C:\Documents --target=D:\my_folder

• Recovering a folder and its contents from a backup. The archive is specified by the file name of a backup that belongs to the archive (my_machine3.tib). This syntax is useful for archives created using the --plain_archive parameter.

  Please be aware that the command will apply to the backup specified in the --backup parameter rather than to the one specified in the --arc parameter.

  acrocmd recover file --loc=E:\backups\my_machine --arc=my_machine3.tib --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --file=C:\Documents --target=D:\my_folder

• Recovering all contents of the latest backup of an archive residing on a network share to the original folder. The existing files and folders will not be overwritten. The files' security settings and original dates will be preserved.

  acrocmd recover file --loc=nfs://server/backups --arc=my_data --overwrite=never --recover_security=true --original_date

• Recovering the user home directory in Linux from a backup stored on a SAMBA share.

  acrocmd recover file --loc=\\bkpsrv\backups\anna --credentials=netuser1,pass1 --arc=home_dir --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --file=/home/anna

• Recovering the contents of the latest backup of an archive residing on a network share. The software will recover all files and folders except for the *.tmp and *.bak files.

  acrocmd recover file --loc=\\srv1\folder1 --credentials=user1,pass1 --arc=my_docs --exclude=*.tmp,*.bak
