Notes:
Setting up both copying and moving backups from the same location is not possible.
With simplified naming of backup files (p. 77), neither replication nor use of retention rules is
available.
4.5.1 Supported locations
You can copy or move a backup from any of these locations:
A local folder on a fixed drive
A network folder
An FTP or SFTP server
Acronis Backup Storage Node
Acronis Secure Zone
You can copy or move a backup to any of these locations:
A local folder on a fixed drive
A network folder
An FTP or SFTP server
Acronis Backup Storage Node
A tape device
Acronis Cloud Storage
A removable device (p. 197) used in the Fixed drive mode. (You select the removable device
mode when creating a backup plan.)
Backups that were copied or moved to the next location do not depend on the backups remaining in
the original location and vice versa. You can recover data from any backup without access to other
locations.
Restrictions
Copying or moving backups to and from optical discs (CD, DVD, Blu-ray discs) is not supported.
Copying or moving backups to and from removable devices used in the Removable media mode
is not supported.
Copying or moving backups from Acronis Backup Storage Node to a local folder is not supported.
A local folder means a folder on the machine with the agent that created the backup.
A tape device and Acronis Cloud Storage can only be the final locations. Further copying or
moving backups from them is not possible.
You cannot specify the same location more than once. For example, you cannot move a backup
from one folder to another and then back to the original folder.
Which machine performs the operation?
Copying, moving or deleting a backup from any location is initiated by the agent that created the
backup, and is performed:
By that agent, if the location is not a managed vault.
By the corresponding storage node, if the location is a managed vault. However, copying or
moving the backup from the managed vault to the cloud storage is performed by the agent that
created the backup.
