can choose not to install the bootable components and perform operations that require reboot using
bootable media.
Acronis Bootable Media Builder is a dedicated tool for creating bootable media containing the
bootable components. The media builder, delivered with Agent for Linux, creates bootable media
that represents volumes and network in the Linux-like style (hda1, sdb2, smb://server/share).
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.
1.2. Supported operating systems
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
Agent for Linux
• Linux with kernel 2.4.18 or later (including 2.6.x kernels) and glibc 2.3.2.
• Various Linux distributions (for the exact list, see the man page for the trueimagecmd utility)
among which support for the following Linux distributions is especially considered: SuSE 9.3, SuSE
10.0, SLES 9.0, RedHat 9.0, Fedora Core 4, Fedora Core 5, Enterprise Server 3.0, Mandrake 10.x,
Slackware 10, Debian (Sarge), ASPLinux 10, Gentoo, Ubuntu 4.10.
• x64 versions of the above Linux distributions and other Linux distributions are also supported.
The agent for Linux is in fact a 32-bit executable. For authentication, the agent uses system
libraries, 32-bit versions of which are not always installed by default with 64-bit distributions.
When using the agent on a 64-bit RedHat based distribution, such as RHEL, CentOS, Fedora or
Scientific Linux, make sure that the following 32-bit packages are installed in the system:
pam.i386
libselinux.i386
libsepol.i386
These packages should be available in the repository of your Linux distribution.
Remote connection to the agent is not possible.
1.3. License policy
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 licensing is based on the number of machines managed and protected
by the product. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agents require a license to perform operations on each
managed machine.
