Installation guide

• The storage node accesses the corresponding centralized vaults in the read-only mode: you can

view the vaults' contents and recover data from their archives, but no archives can be deleted

from the vaults.

When restarting the machine or manually restarting services, make sure that the backup server

service starts before the storage node service. Otherwise, the backup server may not work.

To ensure the correct order of starting the services, you can make the storage node service

dependent on the backup server service, as described in the corresponding Microsoft Help and

Support article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193888.

1.11.6. Upgrading Acronis True Image Echo agents and local

versions

Installing agents

To upgrade Acronis True Image Echo agents and local versions, install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10

agents on the machines where the old agents and local versions are installed.

In Windows:

1. Run the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 setup file.

2. Specify the name or IP address of the Acronis License Server.

3. In the list of components, select the components that you want to install. Select to install Acronis

Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console, along with the agent, if local administration is

required on the machine. To be able to upgrade the old tasks, select the Upgrade Tool check box.

4. Confirm the deletion of the currently installed agent or local version. To upgrade the old tasks at

the time of installation, select the Import existing tasks check box. Or you can upgrade the tasks

later at any time. For details, see "Upgrading tasks" later in this section.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions. For details, see "Local installation (Windows) (p. 11)".

Instead of local installation, you can install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agents remotely or by using

Group Policy. For details, see "Remote installation (Windows) (p. 14)" and "Installing components

using Group Policy (p. 21

)".

Note: To upgrade an Acronis True Image Echo agent using the console’s remote installation functionality, you

need either Acronis True Image Echo or Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent on the machine you operate from.

Otherwise, at least one full (not upgrade) license must be available (i.e. free) on the license server. This may be a

license for any edition of Acronis True Image Echo or Acronis Backup & Recovery 10. The license will remain

available after the upgrade.

In Linux:

1. Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Linux and the Upgrade Tool as described in

"Installation procedure (p. 15)".

2. Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console, if local administration is required on

the machine.

Result:

• The Acronis True Image Echo agents and local versions are replaced with Acronis Backup &

Recovery 10 components.
