2 Installation of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
This section helps answer questions that might arise during the product installation.

2.1 Local installation (Windows)

You have a choice between downloading a full installation package and a small executable package
that will download only those components that you select to install, from the Acronis Web site.
2.1.1

Preparation

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 uses TCP port 9876 for local installation and for communication
between components. The setup program automatically opens this port through Windows Firewall. If
you use a different firewall, make sure that the port is open for both incoming and outgoing requests
through that firewall.
2.1.2

Installation procedure

Do the following to install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10:
1. Run the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 setup file.
2. Click Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.
3. Do either of the following:

To install the product with full functionality (including online backup), click Fully-functional
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.

To install the product for online backup only, click Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 for online
backup only.
4. If you chose to install the fully-functional product, type in your license key. Likewise, you can add
a license key for Acronis Universal Restore (if purchased).
5. Specify credentials for the account under which the Agent for Windows service will run. By
default, the setup program will create a dedicated user account for the service. See "Specifying
credentials for Acronis services (p. 6)".
6. The summary page displays a list of components that will be installed according to the previously
entered license key(s).
Note: When canceling the installation process, only the last component is removed. Other components, if any,
remain installed.
2.1.3

Specifying credentials for Acronis services

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows runs as service. When installing this component,
you need to specify the account under which the agent's service will run.
You can either create a dedicated user account or specify an existing account of a local or domain
user.
