Guida passo per passo

 

  1. Run the following command to find out the kernel version and the required GCC version: 

    cat /proc/version

    ES: Linux version 4.4.0-104-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-022) (gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5)

  2. Run the following command to check whether the Make tool and the GCC compiler are installed:

    make -v gcc -vFor gcc, ensure that the version returned by the command is the same as in the gcc version in step 1. For make, just ensure that the command runs.
  3. Check whether the appropriate version of the packages for building kernel modules is installed:

  4.  

    1. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and Fedora, run the following command:

      yum list installed | grep kernel-devel

    2. In Ubuntu, run the following commands

      dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-headers dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image

      In either case, ensure that the package versions are the same as in Linux version in step 1.

  5. Run the following command to check whether the Perl interpreter is installed:

    perl --version


    If you see the information about the Perl version, the interpreter is installed.

Download or upload the agent on machine.

Give execution permissions:

chmod +x agent.bin

Verify to have RPM utility installed (needed for installation).

Linux Agent installation prerequisites

Make sure that the RPM Package Manager (RPM) is installed in your system. Before installing the product on a Linux distribution that does not use RPM, such as Ubuntu, you need to install RPM manually; for example, by running the following command:

sudo yum install rpm (Red Hat based distributions) sudo apt-get install rpm (Debian based distributions); in case of an Ubuntu distro. sudo zypper install rpm (Suse based distributions) sudo yast install rpm (Suse based distributions)”

Install: 

sudo ./agent.bin


Specify the credentials of the account to which the machine should be assigned.

Select the check boxes for the agents that you want to install (if asked). The following agents are available:

             Agent for Linux (not Virtuozzo)

In case of server without graphical interface, select "Show Registration Details", copy and paste code in Acronis "Add" section using "Registration via Code" or using the following link: https://backup.cloudfire.it/bc/reg

If you have to uninstall the agent run:

sudo /usr/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/uninstall/uninstall


and eventually remove the machine from Acronis console.
