Interactive installation of Acronis Backup Advanced

To install Acronis Backup Agent for Linux

1. Ensure that you have a license for Acronis Backup Advanced. You can import the licenses to the Acronis License Server.

   To install the agent in the trial mode or for cloud backup only, you do not need licenses.

2. Run the appropriate installation file (an .i686 or an .x86_64 file) as the root user.
3. Accept the terms of the license agreement.
4. Do either of the following:
   • To install the product in the trial mode, select Install in trial mode.
   • To install the product for cloud backup only, select Install for cloud backup only.
   • To install the product in the full mode, specify the license keys in either of these ways:
     • Select Select Acronis License Server, and then type the name or IP address of the license server.
     • Select Enter the license key, and then type your Acronis Backup Advanced license key.
5. 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. If you install the software in Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, the setup program may notify you about the absence of some of the required Linux packages. Select Continue to try to install these packages automatically (recommended), or select Skip to skip the package installation. For more detailed information about the required packages, see the "Linux packages" section.
7. The setup program tries to automatically compile the SnapAPI module for your Linux kernel. If it fails to do so, please refer to the file: /usr/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/HOWTO.INSTALL.
