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

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 <plan><options><common_parameters> section. The tag looks like follows:

<login>

Administrator

</login>

<password encrypted="true">

XXXYYYZZZ888

</password>

Delete the value of the <login> tag, so that the tag looks like follows:

<login>

</login>

<password encrypted="true">

XXXYYYZZZ888

</password>

Replacing a directly specified item with another directly specified item

Inside the <plan><targets><inclusions> section:

1. Delete the <ID> tag.
2. Edit the value of the <Path> tag , which contains information about data to back up; for example, replace "C:" with "D:".

Replacing a directly specified item with a selection template

Inside the <plan><options><specific><inclusion_rules> section:

1. Add the <rules_type> tag with "disks" or "files" value, depending on the type of the template you need.
2. Add the <rules> tag.
3. Inside the <rules> tag, add the <rule> with the required template. The template must correspond to the directly specified item. For example, if the specified item has the "disks" value, you can use the [SYSTEM], [BOOT] and [Fixed Volumes] templates; but you cannot use the [All Files] or [All Profiles Folder] templates. For more information about templates, see "Selection rules for volumes" and "Selection rules for files and folders".
4. To add another template, repeat the step 3.

Example

The following example illustrates how to replace a directly specified item with selection templates.

The original section:

<specific>
   <backup_type>
      disks
   </backup_type>
   <disk_level_options />
   <file_level_options />
   <inclusion_rules />
<specific>

The section after applying the selection templates:

<specific>
   <backup_type>
      disks
   </backup_type>
   <disk_level_options />
   <file_level_options />
   <inclusion_rules>
      <rules_type>
         disks
      </rules_type>
      <rules>
         <rule>
            [BOOT]
         </rule>
         <rule>
            [SYSTEM]
         </rule>
      </rules>
   </inclusion_rules>
<specific>
