Downgrade Cloud Storage for Backup for VMWare 9

Thread needs solution

We have recently migrated a site from Acronis Backup for VMWare 9 to Acronis Backup 12 due to a promo running that effectively gave us 1Tb of Acronis Cloud for 3 years for free.

We are not happy with Version 12 so will continue to use Acronis Backup for VMware 9 for this site so have downgraded the keys to suit.

However, we cannot access the cloud storage in the old version.

Is there any way to access this?

Hi Peter,

The format of backups saved to Acronis Cloud differs significantly between Acronis Backup for VMware 9 and Acronis Backup 12, so having both backups types under the same account is not something that will work flawlessly because upgrade to v12 is a one-way path. The proper downgrade path in this case would be to create a new Acronis cloud account via new e-mail address and use it only for saving backups from Acronis Backup for VMware 9.

Thank you.

Understood - was aware they used different architecture.

I have already downgraded the Acronis Virtual Host 12 license ket to 2 x Acronis Backup for VMWare license keys using My Account.

How do I now revoke the Acronis Cloud Storage license key that is activated on the customers account, and use the key supplied to add Cloud Storage that is compatible with the Acronis Backup for VMWare 9 license keys that I have successfully downgraded?

Hi Peter,

This can be done through our support team - there are only internal tools which allow Acronis Cloud account migrations and other advanced account management tasks, i.e. such specific operations cannot be done in self-service mode from your Acronis account management on web.

Thank you.
