2.2 Installation in the interactive mode

1. Run the AcronisBackupRecoveryServerLinux.i686 installation file.

2. Read the terms of the license agreement, then select Next.

3. Select Enter the license key, and then type your Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 license key.

4. When prompted to select the edition to install, select Next.

5. Select the components that you want to install.

Note: You need Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Upgrade Tool only if you are upgrading from Acronis True

Image Echo.

6. The setup program may ask you to compile the SnapAPI module for your Linux kernel. Select

Continue to compile the module now (recommended), or select Skip to compile it manually later.

Note: If the setup program could not compile the necessary module for your Linux distribution, or if you

have chosen to compile the module manually later, please refer to the file:

/usr/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/HOWTO.INSTALL

2.3 Installation in the unattended mode

To install the product or any of its components in the unattended mode (without asking for

confirmations), run the installation file with the -a command-line parameter. You may need to use

other parameters (p. 6) to specify how to perform the installation.

For example, the following command installs Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Linux and

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console in the unattended mode (without asking for

confirmations) and uses the license key 12345-7890-ABCDE:

./AcronisBackupRecoveryServerLinux.i686 -a -i

BackupAndRecoveryAgent,ManagementConsole -l 12345-67890-ABCDE

2.4 Command-line parameters

When running the AcronisBackupRecoveryServerLinux.i686 installation file, you can specify one or

more of command-line parameters.

Parameters

-a or --auto

Performs installation in the so-called unattended setup mode, as opposed to the default

interactive mode.

The setup program will proceed without asking for interaction, such as typing the license key or

clicking the Next buttons. Specify the license key by using the -l parameter. Specify the

component to install by using the -i parameter.

If the SnapAPI module needs to be compiled and the compilation is possible, the setup program

will automatically compile the module; otherwise, it will skip the compilation.

-n or --nodeps

Ignores dependencies during an unattended setup. This option is effective only in the

unattended setup mode (see the -a parameter described previously).

-u or --uninstall
