Protect agent from uninstall !
Hi All
Can we have ability to protect agent from uninstall with password etc on servers?
We recently have situation with attacker who gained access to server on one of the admin accounts, removed acronis and started to encrypt all files. In that case built in active protection is useless as attacker can simple uninstall whole product...
Simple password protection would be sufficient. Any good AV vendor have this as standard...

Hello Nick!
The referenced feature request has been already implemented. Unfortunately, we don't have a public board to track all feature requests, however you may want posting your feedback here Acronis Backup Wishlist or here Voting Forum for Feature requests.

Hello Ekaterina,
Thank you for your response.
Is there any documentation on this? I haven't found anything and from support chat it always gives error that there are no agents available or that I am not on business days.
