Acronis Backup: Ordering and Activation
This guide explains how to successfully order, activate, and set up your Acronis Backup subscription within the PowerPanel. The activation process generates the necessary credentials and access links you will need for agent installation and management.
1. Ordering the Backup Plan
This step is performed directly in your PowerPanel and serves to select the required storage space.
Steps for Ordering via PowerPanel
You can order or upgrade your Acronis Backup plan directly through the PowerPanel.
- Navigate in the PowerPanel to Hardware -> Acronis Backup.
- Select the backup plan that meets your storage requirements from the drop-down menu.
- Click Next and review your order before confirming.
Select the Correct Location: You must choose a backup plan that matches the physical location of your server (e.g., a DE plan for a server in Germany). It is not possible to back up a server to storage located on a different continent.
2. Activating the Acronis Account
After successfully placing your order, your access to the Acronis Management Console is activated via email.
Activating Your Acronis Access
After placing your order, you will receive an activation email from Acronis within approximately 60 minutes.
- Open the email and note down your Acronis login name (Username).
- Click the Activate account button in the email.
- You will be redirected to the Acronis website to set a password for your new backup account.
Please note that your Acronis Backup account is completely separate from your PowerPanel login. After activation, you will be redirected to the Acronis Backup Management Console, from where you can download the agent.
