Chapter 3. Installation of Acronis

Recovery for MS SQL Server

From this chapter you will learn how to install Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server

components both locally and remotely.

administrators, who can create a domain user account with guest rights and remote access

right to every computer. In a workgroup, it would also make sense to create identical

accounts with guest rights on each computer accessed by Acronis Recovery for MS SQL

Server.

If you do not wish to create a uniform account, provide guest credentials for each computer

after the installation and initial network discovery via Manage Computer -> Set

Credentials.

and set individual accounts for members of a workgroup.

Administrator Credentials – used for performing migration, deployment or other tasks
