Upgrading Acronis True Image Echo Agents And Local Versions - ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server SBS Edition Installation Manual

Coexistence of the backup server and the storage node
Suppose that both the backup server and the storage node are installed and operational on the same
machine, and that you imported the backup server's locations as the storage node's centralized
vaults. In this case:
•
The backup server continues working as before: Acronis True Image Echo components can back
up data to and recover data from the locations; the backup server cleans up the location
according to quotas and time limits.
•
The storage node accesses the corresponding centralized vaults in the read-only mode: you can
view the vaults' contents and recover data from their archives, but no archives can be deleted
from the vaults.
When restarting the machine or manually restarting services, make sure that the backup server
service starts before the storage node service. Otherwise, the backup server may not work.
To ensure the correct order of starting the services, you can make the storage node service
dependent on the backup server service, as described in the corresponding Microsoft Help and
Support article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193888.
4.6. Upgrading Acronis True Image Echo agents and local
versions
Installing agents
To upgrade Acronis True Image Echo agents and local versions, install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
agents on the machines where the old agents and local versions are installed.
In Windows:
1. Run the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 setup file.
2. Specify the name or IP address of the Acronis License Server.
3. In the list of components, select the components that you want to install. Select to install Acronis
Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console, along with the agent, if local administration is
required on the machine. To be able to upgrade the old tasks, select the Upgrade Tool check box.
4. Confirm the deletion of the currently installed agent or local version. To upgrade the old tasks at
the time of installation, select the Import existing tasks check box. Or you can upgrade the tasks
later at any time. For details, see "Upgrading tasks" later in this section.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions. For details, see "Local installation (Windows) (p. 12)".
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. 16)" and "Installing components
using Group Policy (p. 20)".
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.
