Apple iPod Touch 4th, 5th generation Android Smartphones and Tablets (Devices with x86 processor architecture are not supported) Supported OS's: iOS 6 or later Android 2.2 or later (Devices with x86 processor architecture are not supported) The Acronis Access app can be downloaded from: For iOS http://www.grouplogic.com/web/meappstore For Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grouplogic.mobilecho 1.1.
However, the server can be configured to use only one IP address with different ports for each component. This one IP address configuration is sufficient for most Mobile Access-‐only installations but two IP addresses is recommended when using Sync & Share as well.
Supported web browsers: Mozilla Firefox 6 and later Internet Explorer 9 and later Note: You can support an unsecure version of Internet Explorer 8 if necessary by following the Changing the Acronis Access Tomcat SSL Ciphers article. Internet Explorer 8 is not supported for Server Administration.
4. Press Next to begin. 5. Read and accept the license agreement. 6. Press Install. Note: If you're deploying multiple Acronis Access servers, or you are installing a non-‐standard configuration, you can select which components to install from the Custom Install button. 7. Either use the default path or select a new one for the Acronis Access main folder and press OK. 8. Set a password for the user Postgres and write it down.
1.3 Using the Configuration Utility The Acronis Access installer comes with configuration utility, which allows you to quickly and easily set up the access to your Acronis Access Gateway server, File Repository and Acronis Access Server. The Gateway Server is used by mobile clients to access both files and shares.
Gateway Server Overview The Gateway Server is used by mobile clients to access both files and shares. Address -‐ The DNS name or IP address of your Gateway Server or pick All Addresses to listen on all interfaces. Port -‐ The port of your Gateway Server. Service Account -‐ This allows the Gateway Server service to run in the context of another account.
File Repository Overview The File Repository is used by Sync & Share functionality. If you are haven't enabled Sync & Share, you can accept the standard values. If you are using Sync & Share, the file store path should specify the disk location to be used for storage. If you plan to use Amazon S3 for storage, then the default values are ok.
Note: Write down the administrator password, as it cannot be recovered if forgotten. Note: If you need to change any of the network IP addresses/ports or certificates used by the Acronis Access components, you can run the Configuration Utility again at any time to make these changes. It will automatically adjust the necessary configuration files and restart the services for you. 1.

1.5 Clustering Acronis Access Acronis Access allows the configuration of high-‐availability setups without needing third-‐party clustering software. This is configured through the new Cluster Groups feature introduced in Acronis Access 5.1.

Giving users access to a new file share or SharePoint location is now a one step process. To do so, click Add New Folder on the Folders tab of the Data Sources page. In this single step, you will: 1. Give the Folder a Display Name that your users will see 2. Select the Gateway Server you would like to use to provide access to this data source 3.
Start using advanced mobilEcho Client Management features If your existing mobilEcho server did not have the mobilEcho Client Management features configured, the Acronis Access install process will guide you though the basic configuration that will allow you to start using these advanced features.

c. The installer file is named: AcronisAccessSetup.exe 5. Click Next on the Welcome Screen. 6. Please accept the license agreement. 7. Click the Upgrade option to automatically upgrade your mobilEcho File Access Server service to an Acronis Access Gateway Server. In the upgrade process, the Acronis Access Server and its required services will also be installed.
Note: Do not choose Custom and install only the Acronis Access Gateway Server. The Acronis Access Server is the new web console that replaces the mobilEcho Administrator Windows program. It is required to administer your mobilEcho server. If you do not install it, you will have no means to change your mobilEcho settings or to give access to new file shares. 8.
Note: It is not recommended that you alter the PostgresSQL install location or port. 10. Please review the services being installed and upgraded. Then click Install to begin the upgrade. Note: All required components will be automatically installed in sequence. This may take 5 to 15 minutes depending on your server. Future upgrade installs will be quicker.
11. Once installation has completed, a summary of the components installed is shown. Click Exit to continue. 12. At this point in the upgrade process, all necessary software has been installed, but you must now configure the network interfaces, ports, and certificates that will be used. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not proceed with this configuration step, your mobilEcho server will not be functional. This step is mandatory.
Note: You existing settings are retained. Please confirm that these settings match your existing mobilEcho File Access Server settings. This service typically runs on all available network addresses on port 443. If you have an existing SSL server identity certificate, it will be automatically selected. If you do not, a self-‐signed certificate will be generated. 14.
