Acronis Backup for VMware is our all-in-one, easy-to-use solution for protecting your VMware vSphere® environment. Not sure what to back up? Let us take care of it! This product integrates Acronis’ patented disk imaging technology with VMware’s VADP interface to capture your entire setup in one easy step.
When disaster strikes, Acronis will help you recover what you need—to any location you want—in minutes. With one simple click, you can restore files, application data, an entire VM, or your complete ESXi™ environment! We also offer the flexibility of restoring data to its original location, or to an entirely new one (even a completely different hypervisor platform).
 Key
Features
Specialized VMware Backups
Acronis Backup for VMware provides deep integration with VMware vStorage APIs to balance backups within an ESXi environment. We also use CBT to reduce the volume of backup data, ensuring that your VM backups are always fast and successful.
vCenter Integration
With full vCenter integration, Acronis can leverage the VMware API to identify all the VMs on your ESXi server. You can select all VMs, groups of VMs, or individual VMs for backup. You can also find and recover individual VMs as quickly as possible.
Agentless VM Backups
Acronis agentless backups eliminate the need to install an agent on every VM, reducing resource usage and management complexity.
Efficient Incremental Backups
Incremental backups identify only the changes made since the last backup, significantly reducing backup time and any impact on network bandwidth or backup storage.
Run a VM from a Backup
Mount and boot a VM directly from a backup in minutes! Acronis allows you to recover any server as a VM, or boot a backup as a VM for development/testing. Simply save any changes made to the VM as a new backup.
Rapid Recovery
Recover VMs 100 times faster by only restoring blocks that have changed since the backup.
Recover Applications
Recover an entire Microsoft® Exchange Server, SQL Server®, SharePoint® or Active Directory® database. You can also recover specific application items (such as individual mailboxes, emails, or documents).
