2 Acronis vmProtect 8 Overview

Acronis vmProtect 8 is a comprehensive backup and recovery solution designed for VMware

vSphere™ environments. It enables organizations to perform an agent-less backup of entire ESX(i)

virtual machines with the ability to recover entire machines or individual files and folders.

2.1 Acronis vmProtect 8 Features

Using Acronis award-winning imaging technology, Acronis vmProtect 8 creates an exact image

(backup) of the virtual machine, including guest operating system, configuration files and

applications, resource pool/vApp properties and datastore settings. It then provides you with the

ability to recover this backup to either the original ESX(i) host or to a new one. The ability to start a

virtual machine directly from a backup without performing an actual restore, making the VM

operational in a few seconds after a failure, is one of the key new features.

Other new features include:

 An option to choose between virtual appliance or Windows-based installation.

 Web-based easy-to-use user interface.

 LAN-free backup with direct access to shared storage.

 Instantly run a VM from a backup on an existing ESX(i) host for quick recovery.

 New enhanced always incremental storage format for backups.

 Simultaneously back up several virtual machines.

 Support for vApp/resource pool settings backup/restore.

 Change Block Tracking (CBT) support.

 Disaster Recovery Plan.
