Installation guide

 Has rights to create databases on the SQL server. The easiest way to ensure this is to include

the account in the Administrators group on the SQL server’s machine before proceeding with

the installation. You can remove the account from this group after the installation is

complete.

 If you choose SQL Server Authentication, specify the login name and password of a SQL server

Registering components on the management server

When installing an Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 agent or Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Storage

Node, you need to specify whether to register these components on Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5

Management Server.

After the agent is registered on the management server, the machine can be centrally managed by

management server administrators. Such a machine is called a registered machine. If you install

another agent at a later time, you will not need to register it.

After the storage node is registered on the management server, registered machines can back up

data to and recover data from the storage node's centralized vaults.

To register the agent and/or the storage node during installation (recommended)

1. Click Register now.

2. Specify the name or IP address of the machine with the management server. That machine must

be online. It can be the local machine—for example, when the management server is among the

components you are installing.

3. Specify the user name and password of a user who is a member of the Acronis Centralized

Admins group on the management server's machine. If you are installing the management server

on the local machine, specify the user name and password of a member of the Administrators

group.

To skip registration

 Click I will register the machine later (or I will register the components later).

After the installation, you can register the components on the management server or remove them

from it, through the management server's interface.

Specifying users allowed to connect remotely

When installing an agent or the management server (or both), you need to specify the list of users

whom you want to allow to manage the machine remotely by using Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5

Management Console.

By default, the list contains all members of the Administrators group on the machine; note that this

includes the domain administrators (if the machine is in an Active Directory domain).

The setup program creates the Acronis Remote Users group and adds the listed users to it. By adding

or removing group members, you will add or remove users who are allowed to connect to the

machine remotely.
