7.1.4. Virtual machines
You can centrally manage virtual machines using either of the following methods or both:
Adding a virtual machine as a physical machine
Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows or Agent for Linux on the virtual machine
and register (p. 310) it on the management server. The machine will be treated as a physical one. You
will be able to apply any backup policy to the machine, including policies that back up files.
This approach comes in handy when:
• the machine is not hosted on a virtualization server
• the virtualization product installed on the host server is not supported by Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition
• you want to use pre/post backup or pre/post data capture commands on the machine
• you want to apply file backup policies to the machine.
Adding a virtual machine as a virtual machine
On Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server, a machine is considered virtual if it can be
backed up from the virtualization host without installing an agent on the machine. This is possible
when using Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition. A virtual machine appears
on the management server after registration of the virtualization server that hosts the machine,
provided that Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent for virtual machines is installed on that server.
Adding Hyper-V virtual machines
1. Integration services have to be installed in the guest systems.
2. Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Hyper-V on the Hyper-V host. The agent is
installed as an add-on to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows.
3. Register (p. 310) the Hyper-V host on the management server. If the machine is already
registered, skip this step.
4. The virtual machines hosted on the Hyper-V server appear in the All virtual machines group.
Adding ESX/ESXi virtual machines
1. VMware Tools have to be installed in the guest systems.
2. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for ESX/ESXi is delivered as a virtual appliance. Do either of
the following:
o Deploy the agent (p. 326) to the ESX/ESXi server
or
o Install and configure the agent manually as described in "Installing ESX/ESXi virtual appliance"
o Add (p. 310) the virtual appliance to the management server as an ordinary physical machine
The virtual machines hosted on the ESX/ESXi server (except for the virtual appliance with the agent)
appear in the All virtual machines group.
Virtual machines added to the management server as virtual machines are present under the Virtual
machines in the Navigation tree. This section describes available operations with these machines.
