Specifying Microsoft Sql Servers; Registering Components On The Management Server - ACRONIS BACKUP AND RECOVERY 10 ADVANCED SERVER VIRTUAL EDITION - INSTALLATION UPDATE 3 Installation Manual

If the machine is part of an Active Directory domain, make sure that the domain's security policies do
not prevent the accounts described in this section (whether existing or newly created) from having
the above listed user rights.
Important: After the installation, do not specify a different user account for a component's service. Otherwise,
the component may stop working.
2.1.4

Specifying Microsoft SQL servers

When installing Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server, you need to specify the
Microsoft SQL servers for the management server's databases:

The operational SQL server ensures synchronization of the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
components and stores the policies configuration.

The reporting SQL server stores the operation log and statistics. The database stored on this
server may become considerably large over time.
For each SQL server, select one of the following:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express that comes with the installation package and installs on the
same machine. In this case, an SQL server instance will be created on the machine.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (any edition) previously installed on any machine.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (any edition) previously installed on any machine.
Recommendations
For the operational SQL server, we recommend selecting a server that resides on the same machine
as the management server—for example, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express that comes with the
installation package.
For the reporting SQL server, you can choose the same server as for the operational SQL server, or a
different server—not necessarily on the same machine.
2.1.5

Registering components on the management server

When installing Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows or Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
Storage Node (or both), you need to specify whether to register these components on Acronis
Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server.
After the agent is registered on the management server, the machine can be centrally managed by
management server administrators. Such machine is called a registered machine.
After the storage node is registered on the management server, registered machines can back up
data to and recover data from the storage node's centralized vaults.
To register the agent and/or the storage node during installation (recommended):
1. Click Register on the management server installed on the specified machine.
2. Specify the name or IP address of the machine with the management server. That machine must
be online. It can be the local machine—for example, when the management server is among the
components you are installing.
3. Specify the user name and password of a user who is a member of the Acronis Centralized
Admins group on the management server's machine. If you are installing the management server
