This section contains a full list of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 components with a brief description of their functionality.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 includes the following main types of components.
Components for a managed machine (agents)
These are applications that perform data backup, recovery and other operations on the machines managed with Acronis Backup & Recovery 11. Agents require a license to perform operations on each managed machine. Agents have multiple features, or add-ons, that enable additional functionality and so might require additional licenses.
Components for centralized management
These components, delivered with the advanced editions, provide centralized management capability. Usage of these components is not licensed.
Console
The console provides Graphical User Interface and remote connection to the agents and other Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 components. Usage of the console is not licensed.
Bootable media builder
With bootable media builder, you can create bootable media in order to use the agents and other rescue utilities in a rescue environment.
Bootable Media Builder does not require a license if installed together with an agent. All add-ons to the agent, if installed, will be available in a rescue environment. To install a media builder on a machine without an agent, you need to enter the license key or have at least one license on the license server. The license may be either available or assigned.
