Management server. We recommend installing Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Management Server

and importing the licenses. If you have a Hyper-V cluster, installing the management server will

enable you to back up clustered virtual machines whatever node they are running on.

Installation

Install the agent on the Hyper-V host. In a Hyper-V cluster, install the agent on each node of the

cluster.

 In Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, you can install the agent

from the setup program (p. 20). Select the Back up this machine's data check box and follow the

on-screen instructions.

 In Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008/2008 R2 or Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012, you can install the

agent remotely (p. 47).

If prompted for the Acronis Managed Machine Service (agent) account, specify an account of a

domain user who has administrative privileges on all nodes of your Hyper-V cluster. With this

account the agent will be able to access virtual machines on any of the nodes. Alternatively, you can

choose to create a new account for the agent. Then, when creating centralized backup plans or

recovery tasks, you will need to specify credentials for the domain account with the necessary

privileges.

If you installed the management server, choose to register the agent on it during installation.

2.6 Installation for other virtualization platforms

Unlike ESX and Hyper-V, the following virtualization platforms require that an agent is installed on a

virtual machine:

 Citrix XenServer

 Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV)

 Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVM)

 Oracle VM Server, Oracle VM VirtualBox

 Parallels Server Bare Metal

For the complete list of supported virtualization platforms, refer to "Supported virtualization

platforms" in the "Backing up virtual machines" document.

For information about the required licenses, refer to "Licensing for virtual machines" (p. 12).

If you need to back up the virtual machines

Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Agent for Windows or Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Agent

for Linux on every virtual machine you want to back up. For step-by-step instructions, refer to

"Installation in Windows" (p. 18), "Installation in Linux" (p. 40), or "Remote installation" (p. 47).

If you use Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, be sure to familiarize yourself with the "Backup and

recovery of RHEV virtual machines" section of the "Backing up virtual machines" document. This

document contains step-by-step instructions on installing the agents and adding the machines to the

management server.

The backup and recovery operations are the same as with a physical machine. You can also use

bootable media to do "cold" backups and "bare metal" recovery to an empty virtual machine.
