Choose the storage on the virtualization server or the folder to place the virtual machine files
in.
Resultant VMs
Specify a name for the virtual machines to be created. The default name consists of variables
that reflect the policy name and the name of the machine that will be backed up. You can add
suffixes to the name but never delete variables, since each virtual machine has to have a
distinct and unique name.
Folder on VMware vCenter
If the management server is integrated with vCenter Server, the resultant virtual machines
will appear in the Acronis Backups folder on the vCenter. You can specify a subfolder for the
machines resulting from execution of the policy.
After you have performed all the required steps, click OK to create the backup policy.
