Introduction

Move the backup first to a shared folder. Once it is there, you can move the backup to a place you wish (e.g. HDD, FTP etc).

Solution

1. To start the console of the Acronis Appliance, in the Appliance GUI press CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-SPACE-F1. Then press ALT-F2;
2. This will load the console;
3. In the console, find your virtual locally attached storage by its size:

   cat /proc/partitions

   

4. Mount it as a network folder:

   asamba mount [host] [name] [share] [mpoint] [username] [password]

   See also asamba (Acronis Linux Command).

   

   For example

   • share - //winserver/sharedfolders/backupdata
   • mpoint - is LOCAL, in Virtual Appliance, folder to where network folder will be mounted. You should use //, not \\
   • username - domain/user1
   • mpoint - for example /tmp/mount
   • password - PassWord123

   asamba mount winserver winserver //winserver/sharedfolders/backupdata /tmp/mount domain/user1 PassWord123

5. Copy the backup from the locally attached storage to the shared folder:

   cp [path_to_archive_folder] /tmp/mount
