1. Log on as an administrator and start the Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 setup program.
2. Click Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.
3. Accept the terms of the license agreement.
4. Select one or more check boxes, depending on what you want this machine to do. Based on your
choice, the corresponding components of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 will be preselected for
installation.
To review the list of preselected components or to select additional components, such as an
Agent for VMware vSphere ESX(i), select the I want to manually select the Acronis
components… check box. In this case, you also will be able to specify additional parameters (see
step 8).
5. If prompted, select whether to install the Deduplication and/or the Universal Restore
component. These components require additional license keys.
6. When installing a component that requires a license key (for example, an Agent for Windows),
specify where to take the license keys from:
 Take license keys from license server
The component will take the license key from a license server. Specify the name or IP address
of the machine with the license server. If you are installing the management server on this
machine, you can specify the integrated license server (recommended) or the license server
installed on a different machine.
Select the product edition that you want to install. If the license server stores licenses for
more than one edition, the setup program suggests the cheapest applicable license based on
the machine’s operating system.
 I will enter the keys manually
You will need to type the license keys or to import them from a file.
This option is not available if you selected an Agent for VMware vSphere ESX(i) (Windows).
 I want to back up this machine to online storage only
No license keys will be used. You will be able to back up this machine only to Acronis Online
Backup Storage.

folder where files for remote installation (p. 24) will be placed.
