### Procedural

Prerequisites:
- Have an existing Acronis backup order associated with your server location.
- Ensure there is server access available for automatic agent installation.

Steps:
1) Log in to your **Control Panel**. Search for the domain name of the server order you want to enable Acronis Backup for, and open the **Order Information** view.  
2) Click **Server Backups by Acronis**.  
3) Click **Use this Acronis Backup**.  
   Note: The system requires access to the server to automatically install the Acronis backup agent. If any access restrictions are configured, the agent installation may fail.  
4) Once the agent is installed successfully, click **Access Acronis Panel** to proceed with the backup configuration.  

Summary:  
You can use an existing Acronis backup order to configure backups for multiple servers in the same location by enabling the backup through the Control Panel and installing the Acronis agent automatically.

Evaluation Pairs:  
Q: Can I use one Acronis backup order for multiple servers?  
A: Yes, you can configure backups for multiple servers under the same customer account and location using the same Acronis backup order.  

Q: How do I enable Acronis Backup for a new server?  
A: Log in to the Control Panel, open the Order Information for the server, click Server Backups by Acronis, then click Use this Acronis Backup to install the backup agent and access the Acronis Panel.  

Q: What happens if the server has access restrictions during agent installation?  
A: The automatic installation of the Acronis backup agent may fail if there are access restrictions on the server.

Acronis Backup orders are provisioned based on the location of the server they are associated with. To simplify backup management, only one Acronis account/order is created per customer per location.
As a result, a customer can have up to two Acronis backup orders at the same time (one per location). This does not restrict backup configuration. If you have multiple servers under the same customer account and in the same location, you can configure backups for all of them using the same Acronis backup order.
