Deployment for small system on Server Core 2012 R2 + GUI Management Console

Thread needs solution

I am new to Acronis Backup Advanced Edition for PC; we have a small system (10 PCs to backup), but I want to manage the backups centrally.

I want to check if the following deployment is supported.

1) Management Server components (Management Server, License Server, Storage Node) on WIndows Server 2012 R2 Core

2) Management Console on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition GUI.

3) Backup agents on PCs to back up.

Assuming this is supported, how are the Mgmt components installed on Server Core? In addition, is there a good reference on firewall ports that have to be open between the various components in this scenario?

Regards,

Tom.

Hello Tom,

Windows Server Core is not officially supported, but it should work. You can install using msi files and transforms as described here.

Go here for information regarding the communication between different Acronis components.

Thanks for your response. Is Server Core on your roadmap? We're using Core and perhaps Nano in the future for most Windows Server deployments.

Hello Tom, 

This will be officially tested with our next product version (Acronis Bakup 12)

 

Thank you.
