Virtualization
This article describes how to back up a virtual machine using Acronis True Image Echo and VMware Consolidated Backup
Synchronization runs every 30 minutes, this is why the "Power state" status may show non-actual information about a virtual machine being online or offline
Acronis True Image Echo has the capability to convert a disk/partition image (.tib) to a virtual disk file of the type you select (.vmdk, .vhd, .hdd).
If you have Acronis True Image Echo Management Console installed on a machine with Active Directory and running Windows Server 2008, installation of remote components is impossible
You need to convert to virtual machine to an OVF package first
The recommendation is to disable drive monitoring
If Acronis Management Server is installed on a guest operating system, which is backed up from the host, it will not display the correct task status on the dashboard
Deploy Acronis Agent for ESX/ESXi to each host instead of deploying one to the cluster
The backup plan creation of a Hyper-V virtual machine fails after updating Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Build 11345 to Build 11639
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 has been tested to work with Virtual Tape Libraries (VTL)
Acronis Agent for ESX/ESXi (Virtual Appliance) builds 11639 and higher is officially certified by VMware
To fix this, deploy the ESX agent on the ESX server whose virtual machines you want to back up and recover
You are either trying to back up a free VMware ESXi using Acronis Agent for ESX/ESXi or you have not added a license to your paid version of VMware ESX/ESXi
Shut down the appliance, unmount all volumes of guest systems, uninstall the appliance and then install the one from the new build
This has been fixed
Acronis Agent allows you to perform disk-level and file-level backup in Windows; it can also convert disk-level backup to a virtual machine, and has an add-on for Hyper-V
Acronis Agent for Hyper-V installs on Windows 2008 Server x64 (any edition) or Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008. Hyper-V Integration Services must be installed on the guest system
Readd the Hyper-V role and after that reedit all virtual machines and reset the network adapters
This has been fixed
Virtual machines should have unique UUIDs
ESX Server mounts the storage using UUID. With the hard disk changed, UUID changes too. Hence, ESX fails to mount
This has been fixed
Acronis True Image Virtual Edition has the same GUI and functionality as Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server; the licensing policy is different
Download and run the script on the host machine to fix the issue
Acronis Backup & Recovery Agent for Hyper-V installs on Windows 2008 Server x64 (any edition) or Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008. All virtual machines can then be managed from Acronis Management Console connected to the installed Acronis Agent
HVM virtual machines are recognized as physical machines
Xen-Based virtual machines (including Virtual Iron) do not boot from Acronis Bootable Media
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server provides an easy way to deploy Agent for ESX/ESXi to every VMware ESX or ESXi server whose virtual machines you want to back up
As a workaround, change the guest operating system settings manually to Windows Server 2008 R2
