If all the tasks you need to import originate from Acronis Group Server, you can opt for the
centralized approach instead of the local approach: convert the source group task into a backup
policy and apply the policy to the machines that were included in the group task. Organizing such
machines into groups will make sense.

To deploy all centralized backup strategies, you need to apply the policy to the upgraded machines
that were originally included in the group task. Instead of applying the policy to each machine
individually, you may want to organize the machines into a group on the management server and
then apply the policy to that group.
