ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Installation Manual page 38

5. Follow the on-screen instructions. For details, see "Local installation (Windows) (p. 14)".
Instead of local installation, you can install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agents remotely or by using
Group Policy. For details, see "Remote installation (Windows) (p. 18)" and "Installing components
using Group Policy (p. 23)".
Note: To upgrade an Acronis True Image Echo agent using the console's remote installation functionality, you
need either Acronis True Image Echo or Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent on the machine you operate from.
Otherwise, at least one full (not upgrade) license must be available (i.e. free) on the license server. This may be a
license for any edition of Acronis True Image Echo or Acronis Backup & Recovery 10. The license will remain
available after the upgrade.
In Linux:
1. Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Linux and the Upgrade Tool as described in
"Installation procedure (p. 25)".
2. Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console, if local administration is required on
the machine.
Result:
•
The Acronis True Image Echo agents and local versions are replaced with Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 components.
Upgrading tasks
You might want to import the old backup tasks and validation tasks to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.
If you do not import them, these tasks will no longer run.
Note: The tasks that back up data to Acronis Backup Server or validate archives stored on it will not be imported
to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.
You can import the old tasks at the time of agent installation (see the installation instructions earlier
in this section), or later by using Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Upgrade Tool. This command-line
utility is located in the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 installation directory, in the UpgradeTool
subdirectory.
In Windows:
1. Change the current folder to the folder where the upgrade tool is installed—by default:
C:\Program Files\Acronis\UpgradeTool
If Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is installed in a folder other than the default folder, change the
path accordingly.
2. Run the following command (note capitalization):
cscript UpgradeTool.vbs Agent
In Linux:
1. Change the current directory to: /usr/lib/Acronis/UpgradeTool
2. Run the following command:
UpgradeTool.sh Agent
Result:
•
Tasks that were present in Acronis True Image Echo, are converted to Acronis Backup & Recovery
10 tasks and appear in the Backup plans and tasks view.
