Specifying credentials for Acronis services

The Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management
Server, and Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node components run as services. When installing
any of these components, you need to specify the account under which the component's service will
run.
For each service, you can either create a dedicated user account (recommended in most cases) or
specify an existing account of a local or domain user—for example: .\LocalUser or
DomainName\DomainUser.
If you choose to create dedicated user accounts for the services, the setup program will create the
following user accounts:
•
For the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows service, Acronis Agent User
•
For the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server service, AMS User
