installation (disabled by default) provides the ability to include Acronis True Image
Workstation into a Bart PE plug-in tab. The plug-in files will be placed into the component
installation folder along with other program files.
Acronis Secure Zone manager lets you create, delete and resize a special hidden
partition for storing backup archives (see
).
When installed, Acronis True Image Workstation (local version) creates a new device in the
Device Manager list (Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager ->
Acronis Devices -> Acronis TrueImage Backup Archive Explorer). Do not disable or
uninstall this device, as it is necessary for connecting image archives as virtual disks (see
Chapter 12. Mounting an image as a virtual drive).
2.1.2 Installation of Acronis Group Server
The Acronis Group Server can be installed on a networked computer only locally, by running
the setup program. When installing Acronis Group Server, you will have to enter credentials,
i.e. the user account that will be used for obtaining status of backup/restore tasks from
networked computers.
If a domain controller is present on the network, you can create for Acronis Group Server a
domain user account with guest rights and remote access right to every computer. If the
network does not use domain, you can create accounts with guest rights on all computers
accessed by Acronis Group Server.
2.1.3 Acronis Backup Server installation and setup
If the computer where Acronis Backup Server has been installed runs Windows XP with
Service Pack 2 or Windows 2003 Server, the option Control panel -> Windows Firewall -
> Exceptions -> File and Printer Sharing must be enabled on this computer. Otherwise
remote users will not be able to create backups on the backup server.
To be able to back up data from any networked computer where Acronis True Image Agent
is installed, to the backup server, or enable users to back up data from any networked
computer, where Acronis True Image Workstation local version is installed, to the backup
server, you must add these computers and/or users to Acronis Backup Server database. See
details in
4.5.2 Set up Administrator profiles
and
4.5.3 Adding Users and Administrators to
Acronis Backup Server database
.
If you want the backup server to manage (consolidate and delete) backup archives
automatically, you must set quotas and time limits and schedule a check of all
user’s/computers archives on the backup server for meeting the limits. See details in
.
It is highly recommended that you read section
to understand
the purpose and operating principles of this component.
2.1.4 Acronis Universal Restore installation
Acronis Universal Restore is an option to Acronis True Image Workstation. It is purchased
separately and installed from a separate setup file. Acronis Universal Restore has its own
serial number which is required at installation.
Acronis Universal Restore can only be installed on a computer where at least one of the
following Acronis components is installed:
Acronis True Image Agent for Windows
Acronis True Image Workstation (local version)
