2.1.2.4 Unattended installation
Components of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11, such as Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agent for
Windows, can be installed in the unattended mode, as opposed to the interactive mode.
Some components require a file known as a transform (an .mst file). To create a transform for a
component, you need the configuration script mst_gen.vbs. This script is located in the folder
where Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Management Console is installed. By default, the folder name
is C:\Program Files\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole. If the management console is installed on a
different machine, you can copy the script from that machine. See also “Examples of creating a
transform” later in this section.
The following components and features can be installed, reinstalled, or updated in the unattended
mode:
