New Network Installation
I just bought below product from Acronis agent and this is my first experience with Acronis product (I was using other product with Standalone installation):
1. Acronis Backup & Restore (ABR) 11 for Advance Server including with universal restore licenses (3 set) for dissimilar hardware.
2. Snap & Deploy (ASD) 4 for Server including with universal restore licenses (3 set) for dissimilar hardware.
3. ASD4 for Workstation including with universal restore licenses (18 set) for dissimilar hardware.
I need some help how to setup/install all products in one (combine) network with below considerations (or please advise my plan below):
1. Lincense 1 (ABR11 Advance Server) to be installed in 3-servers with Windows 2003 SP2 OS.
2. License 3 (ASD4 for Workstation) to be installed in 18-workstations with Windows XP Pro SP3 OS.
3. Lincese 2 (ASD4 for Server) to be install in 3-servers with Windows 2K3 SP2 OS. One of this Server (let call it as Server-X) with ASD4 for server has dual NICs, one NIC connects to same network with 5 severs (3 with ABR11 and 2 with ASD4) and other NIC connects to same network with 18 Workstation (ASD4 for Workstation).
4. Since only Server-X (ASD4 License) has dual NICs so I want to configure Server-X as Management Console and Deploy Server, License Server and everything/resource that required to manage all acronis applications in other (5+18) machines.
Please help me how to do it.
- What step I should do it first?
- Should I install Server-X first and what feature or option to be installed in it?
- How about Server with ABR11, what feature or option to be installed in it and can I backup up / restore them from Server-X?
- How about Workstation with SAD4, what feature or option to be installed in it and can I backup up / restore them from Server-X?
Thank you very much for any feedback, comment and help.

Hello Ismail!
Thank you for your interest and using Acronis products.
There is no order to install the products you purchased, so there will be no problem if you install first Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 and then Acronis Snap Deploy.
If you need to use Server-X as the management console for Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 and Acronis Snap Deploy, I suggest you to install first the Acronis Management Server + Management Console + Acronis Storage Node + all Other Components.
As well with Acronis Snap Deploy.
Once you do that, you will be able to deploy and install remotely the agents on the different machines. The components you need to install in every machine you want to backup and restore are the Agents.
I hope I was able to answer your questions.
If there is something else I can do for you, please let me know.
Thank you, have a good day!
