- Backing up the first volume of the second disk and the third volume of the first disk. The backup will be saved to a local folder and will be split into 4.5-GB parts to be later written on DVDs. To get the volume numbers, use the list disks command.
acrocmd backup disk --volume=2-1,1-3 --split=4608 --loc="F:\my backups" --arc="my archive"
- Backing up the entire machine to a file with a simplified name. No archive metadata will be added. For more details, see the --plain_archive parameter description. The operation log will be saved to a text file.
acrocmd backup disk --loc=F:\ --arc=my_machine --plain_archive --log=D:\logs\log.txt
- Backing up disks 1 and 2 excluding .bak files. The compression level will be set to maximum. The backup will be saved to a network shared folder. To get the disk numbers, use the list disks command.
acrocmd backup disk --disk=1,2 --compression=max --exclude_mask=*.bak --loc=\\bkpsrv\backups --credentials=bkpuser,pass --arc=disk_archive
- Creating an incremental backup of volume C:. The Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) will be enabled and will automatically select between the available hardware-based and software-based snapshot providers. The backup will be saved to a managed vault.
acrocmd backup disk --volume=C --backuptype=incremental --use_vss=auto --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --credentials=bkpuser,pass --arc=c_archive
- Backing up the first (according to the list disks command output) dynamic volume in Windows or logical volume in Linux. The backup will be saved to a network shared folder.
acrocmd backup disk --volume=DYN1 --loc=\\srv1\backups --credentials=netuser1,pass1 --arc=dyn1_arc
For more information about selecting logical volumes in Linux, see Selecting logical volumes and MD devices for backup
- Backing up all dynamic volumes in Windows or all logical volumes in Linux. The backup will be saved to an FTP server.
acrocmd backup disk --volume=DYN --loc=ftp://srv1/backups --credentials=ftpuser1,pass1 --arc=alldyn_arc
- Recovering hard disk 1 from the latest backup of an archive to hard disk 2.
acrocmd recover disk --loc=F:\backups --arc=my_archive --disk=1 --target_disk=2
- Recovering hard disk 2 from a backup located in an NFS shared folder to hard disk 1.
acrocmd recover disk --loc=nfs://server/backups --arc=my_archive --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --disk=2 --target_disk=1
- Recovering hard disk 1 from the latest backup of an archive to the original disk. The archive is specified by the file name of a backup that belongs to the archive (my_machine2.tib). This syntax is useful for archives created using the --plain_archive parameter.
Please be aware that the command will apply to the latest backup rather than to the one specified in the --arc parameter. If the archive does not contain metadata, the command will apply to the latest backup of the backup chain. (A backup chain is a full backup and all of its dependent incremental and differential backups.)
acrocmd recover disk --loc=F:\backups --arc=my_machine2.tib --disk=1
- Recovering the first volume of the first disk from a backup residing in a managed vault to hard disk 2. A new volume will be created starting from megabyte 8192. It will have the size of 6400 megabytes and the "active" flag.
acrocmd recover disk --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --credentials=admin,pass --arc=my_archive --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --volume=1-1 --target_disk=2 --start=8192 --size=6400 --type=active
- Recovering the first volume of the second disk from the latest backup of an archive to the first dynamic volume.
acrocmd recover disk --loc=\\srv1\backups --credentials=netuser1,pass1 --arc=machine1_dyn1 --volume=2-1 --target_volume=DYN1
- Recovering the second volume of the first disk from the latest backup of an archive to the original volume. In other words, you are recovering to the volume you backed up. If the original volume is not found, the software will recover to the first unallocated space of a suitable size. If no unallocated space of a suitable size is found, the command will fail.
acrocmd recover disk --loc=/home/user1/my_backups --arc=my_machine1 --volume=1-2
- Recovering a volume (either basic or logical) to the unallocated space of a basic disk. If no unallocated space of a suitable size is found, the command will fail. The resulting volume will be basic.
acrocmd recover disk --loc=F:\ --arc=my_machine --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --volume=2-2 --target_disk=3
- Recovering a volume to the unallocated space of a disk group. The resulting volume will be dynamic. The type of the resulting volume will be simple (if a basic volume was backed up) or will be inherited from the backed up volume (if a dynamic volume was backed up).
acrocmd recover disk --loc=ftp://srv1/backups --arc=alldyn_arc --volume=1-1 --target_volume=UNALLOCATED-DYN
