4 Where do I install the components?

Assume that your company network includes a server and five workstations running Windows. All

the machines are backed up by the administrator. In addition, one user needs the ability to control

his/her machine backup. To protect all the machines, you need:

 Five licenses for Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Workstation

 One license for Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server or Advanced Server SBS Edition,

depending on the operating system your server is running.

The agents have to be installed on each machine you want to back up. The management server, as

well as the license server, can be installed on any machine that provides a continuous services

availability and has a network connection to the machines that you want to back up. The console,

which provides the GUI to the agents and to the management server, should be installed on the

machines from where the backup has to be set up and monitored.
