Cannot backup any VM's on esxi 6 host

Thread needs solution

I have 2 esxi hosts..

1 I converted to esxi 6.0 and the other is still at esxi 5.5

All the vm's on 5.5 backup successfully, and all the vm's on 6.0 fail..

Attached is the log file for a simple vm I was trying to backup on the 6.0 host.

Hi Chris,

We're now in progress of preparation of an update (to be released within the next couple of weeks, i.e. ASAP) for Acronis Backup for VMware 9 with vSphere 6 support and while backup of VMs running on vSphere 6 works with the current (10007) build we know that VM recovery won't work onto ESXi 6 hosts as well as "ESXi host configuration backup" or "Run VM from Backup" functionality. In other words update is required to include full support for vSphere 6.

Note however that backup should work already (with the current 10007 build) on vSphere 6, so if you can attach the error log that would be helpful to understand what might went wrong in your particular case.

Thank you.
