10.0

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.

If you choose to create a dedicated user account for the service (recommended), the setup program

will create the following user account:

 Acronis Agent User

The newly created account is given the following privileges:

 The account is assigned the Log on as a service, Adjust memory quotas for a process, and

Replace a process level token user rights.

 The account is included in the Backup Operators group.

If you choose to specify an existing local or domain user account—for example, .\LocalUser or

DomainName\DomainUser—make sure that the account is a member of the Backup Operators

group, before proceeding with the installation. The setup program will assign the above listed user

rights to such account.
