2.2.2 Interactive installation in advanced editions
To install Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agent for Linux or Acronis Bootable Media Builder
1. Make sure that you have the licenses for Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agent for Linux and
(optionally) Universal Restore and/or Deduplication. You can import the licenses to the Acronis
License Server.
2. Run the corresponding installation file (an .i686 or an .x86_64 file) as the root user.
3. Specify the license keys in either of these ways:
 Type the DNS name or IP address of the license server.
 Type your Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 license key. Likewise, you can add a license key
for the Universal Restore and/or the Deduplication feature (if purchased).
4. Specify whether you want to install the Deduplication and/or the Universal Restore feature for
the machine.
Note: You need to enable the Deduplication feature only if you are installing a full version of Acronis Backup
& Recovery 11. When using a trial version, deduplication is already enabled.
5. If you are installing the Agent for Linux, specify whether you want to register the machine on the
management server. You can add the machine to the management server later by using the
machine's name or IP address.
6. The setup program may ask you to compile the SnapAPI module for your Linux kernel. Select
Continue to compile the module now (recommended), or select Skip to compile it manually later.
Note: If the setup program could not compile the necessary module for your Linux distribution, or if you
have chosen to compile the module manually later, please refer to the file:
/usr/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/HOWTO.INSTALL
