ACRONIS UPGRADING TO ADVANCED EDITIONS OF BACKUP RECOVERY 10 Installation Manual page 20

Is installation of Acronis License Server mandatory?
Yes. The advanced editions of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 include Acronis License Server that has
to be installed prior to the Echo agents and local versions upgrade.
How to upgrade a local version of Acronis True Image Echo?
Acronis True Image Echo includes components for local management of servers and workstations.
These components are referred to as "local versions" as opposed to agents that enable both local
and remote management. The advanced editions of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 do not have local
versions. Local versions of Acronis True Image Echo are upgraded to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
agents. Then you can install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console on the machines,
where local administration is required.
What happens when I install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components over Acronis True Image
Echo components?
When installed, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent replaces the Acronis True Image Echo agent
residing on the same machine. Acronis License Server updates the previous version of Acronis
License Server. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console, Management Server and
Storage Node are installed side by side with the corresponding Echo components. During the
upgrade installation, Acronis services will be restarted and all Acronis tasks related to these services
will be stopped.
Can Acronis Backup Server and Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node run on the same
machine?
Yes, these components can work side by side on the same machine. Moreover, only in this case can
you make Acronis Backup Server locations visible in Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node.
Can Acronis Group Server and Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server run on the same
machine?
Yes, as well as on different machines.
