Web-based installation

The procedure for Web-based installation is identical to that for interactive installation. Web-based installation is available only in advanced editions.

During a Web-based installation, only the components that you are currently installing are downloaded from the Acronis Web site. You should keep this in mind if you are planning to install components from this machine remotely at a later time. To make sure that all components that can be installed remotely are present on the machine, consider using local installation instead.

When performing Web-based installation on a large number of machines, you may want to avoid multiple downloads of the same component over the Internet. To do this:

1. In your local network, create a shared folder and make it available to all machines where you want to install Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.
2. On the first of these machines, do the following:
   1. Run the setup program for Web-based installation.
   2. In the corresponding window, select the Save the downloaded installation files check box, and then specify the shared folder that you created.
   3. Proceed with the installation.

   The necessary installation files will be downloaded to the shared folder.

3. Perform steps a–c on the remaining machines. The setup program will reuse the installation files that are already in the folder, instead of downloading them again. Any other necessary files will be downloaded to the folder.
