
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 Management
Console or Acronis Backup command-line utility (acrocmd) is installed. The path to the utility is as
follows:

In a 32-bit version of Windows: %CommonProgramFiles%\Acronis\Utils

In a 64-bit version of Windows: %CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\Acronis\Utils

In Linux: /usr/sbin
How to make a backup plan use the agent's credentials
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>
How to change items to back up
Replacing a directly specified item with another directly specified item
Inside the <plan><targets><inclusions> section:
1. Delete the <ID> tag.
