Hello Thomas J Hawley,

Thank you for posting this question in our forum. I am happy to assist you. 

For running an Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Advanced Version as standalone product, you need following components:

  • Acronis Agent Core
  • Acronis Agent for Windows
  • Acronis Management Console

The Acronis Remote Agent Service is necessary in every situation. However the Acronis Removable Storage Management Service is only needed when backing up to tape.

If you need additional assistance, please create a system report of the affected machine and contact support. You will find all available support options in our Customer handbook.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you.

My question related to ABR 11.5 Workstation, not Advanced Workstation.

I don't see why we would require a remote agent when all operations are local on the workstation?

Hello Thomas J Hawley,

Thank you for your quick reply.

If you are starting the Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Workstation Installation, you will get all required components installed. If you want to install the minimum of components, please install them manually like described in my first post.

All services that are running after installing the three components are required. The Acronis Remote Agent is a connection service, that allows to connect the Acronis Management Console to the Acronis Agent. This is the same behavior, as in the advanced editions.

If you need additional assistance, please create a system report of the affected machine and contact support. You will find all available support options in our Customer handbook.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you.
