Where to go from here
For what to do next see "Basic concepts (p. 28)".
For understanding of the GUI elements see "Using the management console (p. 11)".
For how to enable non-root users to start the console under Linux see "Privileges for local connection
(p. 80)".
For how to enable remote connection to a machine running Linux see "Privileges for remote
connection in Linux (p. 81)".
Centralized management
We recommend that you first try to manage the single machine using direct management as
described above.
To start with centralized management:
1. Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server (p. 20).
2. Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agents on the machines that need data protection. When
installing the agents, register each of the machines on the management server. To do so, enter
the server's IP or name and the centralized administrator's credentials in one of the installation
wizard's windows.
