Unattended Install method  :

In some cases it can be quicker to install the agent and cPanel plugin in separate parts. When you install the cPanel plugin using the previous method sometimes the agent may fail to install without providing full errors. Therefore we have found that Installing the Acronis Agent first and then installing the plugin using the unattended instructions below can sometimes be the best method.

• Install the Acronis Agent and register using the following guide : https://wiki.cloudevo.com/knowledge-base/acronis-agent-install-guide/
• Download and Install cPanel Plugin via SSH on the cPanel server :

  sh <(curl -L https://download.acronis.com/ci/cpanel/stable/install_acronis_cpanel.sh || wget -O - https://download.acronis.com/ci/cpanel/stable/install_acronis_cpanel.sh)

• Edit the following file :

  /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/acronisbackup/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages/acronis_backup_srv/bash_scripts/configurator.ini

  for example :

  nano /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/acronisbackup/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages/acronis_backup_srv/bash_scripts/configurator.ini
  

  You are only required to update the URL, login and password fields of this file. This information is for the customer account in which the agent and cPanel server is registered to as an example : Save the file once it has been updated

• Run the script with the following :

  /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/acronisbackup/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages/acronis_backup_srv/bash_scripts/configurator.sh

• Restart the cPanel plugin service :

  /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/acronisbackup/scripts/acronis-backup-srv.sh restart

If you do not get any errors when running the script the install should be completed. As always if you run into any errors or issues  please reference our known errors and issues article here :
