Add a device to Acronis Cyber Protect

How to add a device/agent & configure backup plan

See how to add a device to your Acronis Cyber Protect service and set up backups on it. You need to first log in to the Acronis control panel at https://cloud.acronis.com/

If logging in for the first time please make sure to follow the link in the initial email Acronis sent when your plan was ordered. This will give you the username and steps to set a password and enable 2FA.

You can add a device to your Acronis backup by logging in to Acronis, go to Devices, and press Add on the top right corner. You will be asked which installer you want to download (i.e. which type of device you want to add)

You will need to click on the box that related to the Operating System you wish to install the Agent on.

Once you click on the appropriate button for your device/OS you will then be prompted to save the file.

Upload the installer file to the server or computer that you want to back up

Once you have, locate it on your device click on run. If on Linux change the permissions of the file to make it executable (i.e. chmod +x filename) and then run it (i.e. ./filename.bin)

This will then ask you to install and proceed with installing. See below for how it might look on Windows:

Once the installation is complete, you will then have to Register the device. We recommend using the option to Show Registration Info. This gives a code that will expire in an hour.

Log back in to your Acronis account, go to Add (under Devices) once more and press the Register option (at the bottom, under Registration via Code)
