Virtualization

This article describes the procedure of adding a converted VMDK virtual disk to a VMware virtual machine

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

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

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

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

ESX Server mounts the storage using UUID. With the hard disk changed, UUID changes too. Hence, ESX fails to mount

Acronis True Image Virtual Edition has the same GUI and functionality as Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server; the licensing policy is different

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

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
