How to Move a Management Server

If you need to move Acronis Management Server to a different machine, you will need to install Management Server on a new machine and set up the configuration from scratch.

The following options will help you to facilitate the task:

You can export backup plans and import them on a new Management Server.

To export a backup plan: go to the Plans tab, select the plan that you want to export and select Export in the menu:

To import a backup plan onto the new AMS: go to Plans tab, click Import on the menu and select the .json file with the backup plan that you want to import. 

1. To register Agents on a new Management Server without reinstalling them, you can use register_agent.exe utility found at

   C:\Program Files\Acronis\RegisterAgentTool\register_agent.exe.

    It can be run via command line. Example of command to register the agent on new Management Server:

   register_agent.exe -o register -a <AMS_IP>

   where AMS_IP corresponds the hostname/IP of new Acronis Management Server.

   See How to manually add a machine to management server for more information.

Another possible solution is to back up the entire machine with Acronis Management Server and recover it to new hardware.
