Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console for remote Linux Agent
I'm evaluating Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Server for Linux for a number of linux servers.
The Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Server for Linux guide suggests using the Windows Management Console to manage the linux agent.
1.1.2. Management Console
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console is an administrative tool for remote or local
access to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agents, and in the product editions that include the
centralized management capability, to the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server.
The console has two distributions for installation on Windows and installation on Linux. While both
distributions enable connection to any Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent and Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 Management Server, we recommend that you use the console for Windows if you have a choice between the two. The console that installs on Linux has limited functionality:
• remote installation of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components is not available
• the Active Directory-related features, such as browsing the AD, are not available.
Since most of the linux servers have no X installed, this is the only option to configure them.
There is no Windows Console included, so I tried the console from Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Server for Windows, but doesn't have a remote management option.
Which Management Console is needed ?
