6.4. Performing Backup Operations

6.4.1. Adding Machines to Be Backed Up

Before you can back up a machine, you must install a backup agent. Agents are applications that perform data backup, recovery, and other operations on the machines managed by Acronis Cyber Backup. Choose an agent, depending on what you are going to back up. For more information, see the full list of supported operating systems and environments.

  1. Open the Acronis Cyber Backup console in your browser and log in.
  2. To add a machine to the management server, click All devices > Add. You will be asked to select the setup program based on the type of the machine that you want to add.
  3. Once the setup program is downloaded, run it locally on that machine.

A backup plan is a set of rules that specify how data will be protected on a given machine. To create a backup plan, follow the steps:
