Installation Guide

Tips for further usage

The added machines will appear in the Machines with agents view of the management server.

The backup plans on the machines will remain intact. To view them on the management server,

right-click the machine name > View details > Backup plans and tasks. The product continues doing

backups and you can recover from the backups created before the upgrade.

You can now create centralized backup plans that will simultaneously back up several machines to a

single location.

4 Checking for software updates

Each time you start the management console, Acronis Backup checks whether a new version of the

software is available on the Acronis website. If so, the software provides a link for downloading a

setup program of the new version.

To check for updates manually, start the management console and then click Help > Check for

updates. In that window, you also can disable the automatic checks for updates.

5 Uninstalling Acronis Backup

# /usr/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/uninstall/uninstall

To uninstall the product in the unattended mode, run the command with the -a parameter.

6 Deleting Acronis Secure Zone

Uninstallation of Acronis Backup does not affect Acronis Secure Zone and its contents. You will still

be able to recover data from Acronis Secure Zone on booting from bootable media.

If you need to delete Acronis Secure Zone, perform the following steps in the operating system

(before the agent uninstallation) or under bootable media.

To delete Acronis Secure Zone

1. On the Actions menu, click Manage Acronis Secure Zone.

2. In the Delete Acronis Secure Zone window, select volumes to which you want to add the space

freed from the zone and then click OK.

If you select several volumes, the space will be distributed proportionally to each partition. If you

do not select any volume, the freed space becomes unallocated.

After you click OK, Acronis Backup will start deleting the zone.
