Installing the backup agent

Installing the backup agent

To back up the Virtuozzo container, the backup agent must be installed on its host as described in the Installing the backup agent on Virtuozzo host (p. 14) section. 
  1. Log in to WHM UI. 
  2. Click Plugins > Acronis Backup. 
  3. Specify the credentials of the account to which the machine should be assigned. 
    Make sure that you specify the credentials of an account created within the customer group (Customer administrator, Unit administrator, or User). Do not specify partner administrator credentials. 



  4. Follow the installation wizard. 
    During the installation, the software checks if the ports required for communication with the cloud are open. If some of the ports are closed, the software shows numbers of these ports and the hostnames for which a port should be open. Open the ports, close the wizard and restart the installation. 

Completing the installation may take several minutes. You can leave the page during this process. 
The backup agent can also be installed by using the command line.
