Where to go from here
For what to do next see "Basic concepts (p. 25)".
For understanding of the GUI elements see "Using the management console (p. 11)".
Centralized management
We recommend that you first try to manage the single machine using direct management as
described above.
To start with centralized management:
1.
Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server (p. 19).
2.
Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agents on the machines that need data protection. When
installing the agents, register each of the machines on the management server. To do so, enter
the server's IP or name and the centralized administrator's credentials in one of the installation
wizard's windows.
3.
Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console (p. 21) on the machine from which
you prefer to operate. We recommend that you use the console that installs on Windows if you
have a choice between Windows and Linux console distributions. Install Acronis Bootable Media
Builder.
4.
Start the console. Create the bootable media.
5.
Connect the console to the management server.
The simplified way of centralized management
Backup
Using the
Back up
control, select the machine which you want to back up and then create a backup
plan (p. 388) on the machine. You can create backup plans on multiple machines in turn.
Recovery
Using the
Recover
control, select the machine where the data recovery is required and create a
recovery task on the machine. You can create recovery tasks on multiple machines in turn.
