Installation guide

 The machine can be automatically registered on the management server.

Disadvantages: The end user still must have rights to install software on the machine (for example,

be a local administrator on it).

Usage examples:

 Enabling laptop users (who may connect to the corporate network at irregular intervals) to install

the program on their own.

 Accessing installation packages in a network that does not allow sharing folders.

2.1.2 Local installation

You have a choice between a setup program that contains all components, and a lightweight setup

program that will download from the Acronis Web site only the components that you select to install.

Installation can be performed in the interactive or the unattended mode.

2.1.2.1 Preparation

Network port. Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 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.

Encryption software. If you are planning to use disk-level encryption software, such as PGP Whole

Disk Encryption, make sure to install such software before installing Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5.

2.1.2.2 Interactive installation in advanced editions

You can install Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 on the local machine by using the typical or the

remain installed.
