1. You can download the Acronis Agent for Linux installer directly using the following command:

sudo wget https://dl.managed-protection.com/u/baas/4.0/12.0.3957/Backup_Agent_for_Linux_x86_64.bin

2. Grant necessary permissions for the installer:

# sudo chmod 755 Backup_Agent_for_Linux_x86_64.bin

3. Install rpm:

# sudo apt-get install rpm

4. Download latest updates:

# sudo apt-get update

5. Launch the installer as root:

# sudo ./Backup_Agent_for_Linux_x86_64.bin

The installer installs old SnapAPI version 0.7.95. We will have the new version embedded with the installer in the upcoming new release, early next month.

As a workaround, I had to manually install the latest SnapAPI drivers. But will be fixed in the upcoming build and the installation should work fine without issues.

Copy the provided snapapi26_modules-0.7.101-1.noarch.rpm to the Ubuntu server using WinSCP.

6. Install alien on the server to convert rpm to deb:

# sudo apt-get install alien

7. Convert the rpm package to deb:

# sudo alien snapapi26_modules-0.7.101-1.noarch.rpm

If the system did not get updated during software update.

8. Install and compile new version of snapapi -v 0.7.101:

# sudo dpkg -i snapapi26-modules_0.7.101-2_all.deb
# sudo dkms ldtarball --archive /usr/lib/Acronis/kernel_modules/snapapi26-0.7.101-all.tar.gz
# sudo dkms {add,build} -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.101 --no-clean-kernel
# sudo dkms {build,install} -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.101 --no-clean-kernel

9. Check if the agent is installed successfully by running the command:

# acrocmd list disks

Should the agent fails to register automatically from the Backup management console - Please register manually using the following:

-> Register manually with the following command:

/usr/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/AmsRegisterHelper register https://cloud.acronis.com/ <USERNAME> <PASSWORD>
