ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition Installation Manual page 42

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. 15)".
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. 19)" and "Installing components
using Group Policy (p. 23)".
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.
In Linux:
1. Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Linux and the Upgrade Tool as described in
"Installation procedure (p. 26)".
2. Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console, if local administration is required on
the machine.
Result:
•
The Acronis True Image Echo agents and local versions are replaced with Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 components.
Upgrading tasks
You might want to import the old backup tasks and validation tasks to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.
If you do not import them, these tasks will no longer run.
Note: The tasks that back up data to Acronis Backup Server or validate archives stored on it will not be imported
to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.
You can import the old tasks at the time of agent installation (see the installation instructions earlier
in this section), or later by using Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Upgrade Tool. This command-line
utility is located in the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 installation directory, in the UpgradeTool
subdirectory.
In Windows:
1. Change the current folder to the folder where the upgrade tool is installed—by default:
C:\Program Files\Acronis\UpgradeTool
If Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is installed in a folder other than the default folder, change the
path accordingly.
