When will Acronis backup and recovery come with support for vstorage api in vsphere (we are in need of the changed block tracking functionality)

One big "issue" today is that we need one backup "vm" on each esx host to backup full virtual machines with acronis

Hello Masat!

Welcome on Forum, Masat, and thank you for finding time to open the thread regarding the issue. I will be glad to assist you!

Actually we do support vstorage api in vsphere, but we do not use changed block tracking functionality since we have another technology. Let me give you some additional details on it: 

We use incremental backups technology instead of changed block tracking functionality. Block tracking is based on analyzing VM's *.vmdk file. We create the snapshot of its file system and verify all the changes made with the bitmap. You can find more details in the chapter 2.4 in the User's Guide.

I will be glad to provide you with more detailed answer and plan if you could kindly let me know the details of scenario the you would like to proceed.

Please let us know in case you have any further question or you have faced any issue - we will be glad to help.

Thank you!
