Re-registering backup storage in a new Acronis Cyber Protect instance

To switch configured backup storage to a different Acronis Cyber Protect instance, you need to re-register the gateway with that instance.

Prerequisites

To re-register backup storage

Admin panel

  1. On the Storage services > Backup storage screen, go to the Settings tab, and then click Re-registration.
  2. Specify the hostname/IP address of the target management server and the port 9877 (for example, http://192.168.1.2:9877), and then enter your credentials for the management server.

    The address must be provided by using the HTTP protocol, not HTTPS.
  3. Click Save.

Command-line interface

Use the following command:

vinfra service backup cluster re-register --domain <domain>
                                          --reg-account <reg-account>
                                          --reg-server <reg-server> [--stdin]
--domain <domain>
Domain name for the backup cluster
--reg-account <reg-account>
Partner account in the cloud or of an organization administrator on the local management server
--reg-server <reg-server>
URL of the cloud management portal or the hostname/IP address and port of the local management server
--stdin
Use for setting registration password from stdin.

For example, to re-register the backup cluster in a new Acronis Cyber Protect instance, run:

# vinfra service backup cluster re-register --domain newdns.example.com \
--reg-account account@example.com --reg-server https://cloud.acronis.com/ --stdin

Specify the registration password when prompted.
