Local installation (Windows)
You have a choice between downloading a full installation package and a small executable package
that will download only those components that you select to install, from the Acronis Web site.
2.1.1
Preparation
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 uses TCP port 9876 for local installation and for communication
between components. The setup program automatically opens this port through Windows Firewall. If
you use a different firewall, make sure that the port is open for both incoming and outgoing requests
through that firewall.

Specifying credentials for Acronis services

you need to specify the account under which the agent's service will run.
You can either create a dedicated user account or specify an existing account of a local or domain
user.
If you choose to create a dedicated user account for the service (recommended), the setup program
will create the following user account:

The account is assigned the

user rights.
