Using the management server Web page

To open the management server Web page, type the name or IP address of the management server’s machine and the port number in the browser’s address bar. For example, type http://ams:8080 or http://192.168.0.1:8080

If the Web page must be accessed through a non-default port, specify that port instead of 8080.

Installation with selecting components on-site

The following is how advanced users can use the Web page to easily install Acronis Backup on their machines:

1. A user goes to the Web page. It displays the list of components of Acronis Backup that the user can install.
2. The user selects one or more components to install.
3. The user clicks the Download button.
4. The user starts the setup program.
5. The setup program runs with all required fields (such as the name of the license server) already filled in. The user can go through the installation wizard and change any settings if necessary.

How installation works

The setup program itself is small in size. It downloads the installation packages of the selected components from the management server’s machine.

When installing an agent in Windows, the setup program will create a dedicated user account for the agent’s service.
