installation (disabled by default) provides the ability to include Acronis True Image Enterprise
Server into a Bart PE plug-in tab. The plug-in files will be placed into the component
installation folder along with other program files.
Acronis Secure Zone manager lets you create, delete and resize a special hidden
partition for storing backup archives (see
3 3 Acronis Secure Zone
).
.
When installed, Acronis True Image Enterprise Server (local version) creates a new device in
the Device Manager list (Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -
> Acronis Devices -> Acronis TrueImage Backup Archive Explorer). Do not disable
or uninstall this device, as it is necessary for connecting image archives as virtual disks (see
Chapter 12. Mounting an image as a virtual drive
).
2.1.2 Installation of Acronis True Image Agent for Linux
To install Acronis True Image Agent for Linux, extract its files to a shared network drive or
removable media, assign to these files attribute Executable, then perform installation
procedure on a Linux-based system. How to extract, see in
2.2 Extracting Acronis True
Image Enterprise Server components
.
2.1.3 Installation of Acronis Group Server
The Acronis Group Server can be installed on a networked computer only locally, by running
the setup program. When installing Acronis Group Server, you will have to enter credentials,
i.e. the user account that will be used for obtaining status of backup/restore tasks from
networked computers.
If a domain controller is present on the network, you can create for Acronis Group Server a
domain user account with guest rights and remote access right to every computer. If the
network does not use domain, you can create accounts with guest rights on all computers
accessed by Acronis Group Server.
2.1.4 Acronis Backup Server installation and setup
If the computer where Acronis Backup Server has been installed runs Windows XP with
Service Pack 2 or Windows 2003 Server, the option Control panel -> Windows Firewall -
> Exceptions -> File and Printer Sharing must be enabled on this computer. Otherwise
remote users will not be able to create backups on the backup server.
To be able to back up data from any networked computer where Acronis True Image Agent
is installed, to the backup server, or enable users to back up data from any networked
computer, where Acronis True Image Enterprise Server local version is installed, to the
backup server, you must add these computers and/or users to Acronis Backup Server
database. See details in
4.5 2 Set up Administrator profiles
and
4.5 3 Adding Users and
Administrators to Acronis Backup Se ver database
.
. .
r
If you want the backup server to manage (consolidate and delete) backup archives
automatically, you must set quotas and time limits and schedule a check of all
user’s/computers archives on the backup server for meeting the limits. See details in
4.5.1
Default settings
.
It is highly recommended that you read section
3.5 Acronis Backup Server
to understand
the purpose and operating principles of this component.
