1.3.3 Installing Acronis Backup Management Server
Acronis Backup Management Server stores its configuration, logs, and statistics in Microsoft SQL
databases. There are two options for storing the databases:
Install and use SQL Server Express supplied with the management server. This option is available
through typical installation.
Use any existing SQL Server instance accessible by the management server. This option is
available through custom installation.
The custom installation method also enables you to specify other installation parameters.
Depending on where you want the management server to store its databases, follow one of the
procedures below.
1.3.3.1 Typical installation
1. On the machine that will act as the management server, log on as an administrator.
2. Start the Acronis Backup Advanced setup program.
3. Click Install Acronis Backup.
4. Accept the terms of the license agreement.
5. Select the Centrally monitor and configure backing up of physical and virtual machines check
box.
6. Provide the license for Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud. Type all your license keys or import
them from a text file.
7. Choose whether the machine will participate in the Acronis Customer Experience Program (CEP).
8. Click Install to proceed with installation.
9. On successful installation, click Finish to close the wizard window.
10. Copy the script enable_remote_sql_access.js that is distributed with the product, to the
management server machine.
Details. The script configures the SQL Server instance to be accessible to Agent for vCloud. It
creates a new SQL Server account that Agent for vCloud will use, configures the instance to listen
to a static port, and configures Windows Firewall to allow connections through that port.
11. Run the script in the following format:
cscript enable_remote_sql_access.js <new-user-name> <new-password> [-p <port>]
Where:
<new-user-name> and <new-password> are the user name and password for the new
account.
-p <port> is an optional parameter that enables you to specify the port to use.
