Known issues
This section describes issues that are currently known and provides solutions to avoid the issues where possible.
Installation
[ABR-102251] Components for Remote installation are not installed if the Acronis Backup setup program is started from a network share.
Solution: Uninstall Components for Remote installation via Control Panel > Programs and Features; copy the setup program to a local folder; repeat the installation of Components for Remote installation.
[ABR-33952] Cannot remotely upgrade Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agent for Linux if the upgrade license is added to the license server but the full Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 license is not.
When installing Acronis Backup Management Server to Windows 10, where no Microsoft SQL Server instance is pre-installed, Acronis Backup setup would deploy Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express. Although Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express is not officially supported on Windows 10 by Microsoft, such setup was verified and no known issues were found. Workaround: before running Acronis Backup setup, install Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express or any other edition on the target machine // use pre-installed Microsoft SQL Server 2014 on the target machine or on another machine on the network.
Local management
There is no agentless single-pass disk and application backup of virtual machines (the Microsoft SQL metadata is not cataloged).
Solution: Such VMs should be backed up as physical ones. To do so, the required agents need to be installed into the guest OS.
[ABR-68306] Linux-based bootable media does not detect OCZ RevoDrive 350. Open source Linux drivers for this device are not available.
Solution: Use WinPE-based bootable media.
[ABR-66910] It is not possible to choose a LiveDrive FTP server as a backup location.

[ABR-32573] The "E00060106: Failed to save data of backup being edited" error appears when mounting a ReFS volume from a disk backup in the Read only access mode.
Solution: Click Ignore.

[ABR-30600] The Wake-on-LAN functionality does not work in Windows 8/Windows Server 2012.
[ABR-35418] A backup of a large amount of data under Linux-based bootable media with the Linux-style volume representation fails if the destination folder name contains a space character.
[ABR-34769] If Acronis Backup is installed in a folder whose name contains non-Latin characters (for example, Cyrillic), backups fail.

[ABR-111646] A Hyper-V virtual machine cannot boot into 32-bit bootable media.
Solution: Use 64-bit bootable media.
[ABR-70817] If an entire machine is recovered with reboot and the recovery is initiated from some Linux distributions (for example, Ubuntu 15.10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2, and Debian 8.1), the operating system is unbootable.
