Remote connection

A remote connection is established between Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console on

one machine and Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent on another machine.

You might need to specify logon credentials to establish a remote connection.

To establish a remote connection

1. On the toolbar, click Connect, then point to New connection, and then click Manage a remote

machine.

2. In Machine, type or select the name or IP address of the remote machine to which you want to

connect; or click Browse to select the machine from the list.

3. To specify credentials for connection, click Options and then type the user name and password in

the User name and Password boxes respectively. In Windows, if you leave the User name box

empty, the credentials under which the console is running will be used.

4. To save the password for the specified user name, select the Save password check box; the

password will be saved in a secure storage on the machine where the console is running.

Privileges for local connection

Windows

Local connection on a machine running Windows can be established by any user who has the "Log on

locally" user right on the machine.

Linux

Establishing a local connection on a machine running Linux, and managing such machine, requires

the root privileges on it.

To establish a local connection as the root user

1. If you are logged on as the root user, run the following command:

/usr/sbin/acronis_console

Otherwise, run the following command:

su -c /usr/sbin/acronis_console

2. Click Manage this machine.

To allow a non-root user to start the console

 As a root user, add the name of the non-root user whom you want to allow to start the console,

to the file /etc/sudoers—for example, by using the visudo command.

Caution: As a result of this procedure, the non-root user will not only be allowed to start the console with the

root privileges, but also may be able to perform other actions as the root user.

To establish a local connection as a non-root user

1. Make sure that the root user has allowed you to start the console, as described in the previous

procedure.

2. Run the following command:

sudo /usr/sbin/acronis_console

3. Click Manage this machine.
