ESXi configuration backup not working
Hi,
Yesterday I've upgraded our Acronis backup 12 environment to version 12.5. It all went well, except for the plan we use to backup the ESXi configuration of both our VMware ESXi 6.0 hosts.
The existing backup plan started as scheduled, but failed with an error: "POR: Branch 'ProviderId' cannot be found."
I then tried to create a new backup plan for the ESXi configuration and this also fails with the same error.
Please advise.

Hi Vasily,
I reinstalled the vmware agent using setup (on the same Windows machine as the management server) and reconnected the agent to the vCenter server.
I then created a new plan for the ESXi configuration backup, specifying the root credentials of the VMware ESXi 6.0 host.
Running the plan the same error occurred:
POR: Branch 'ProviderId' cannot be found.

Hi Theo,
Thank you for the additional details. The problem is that one property of some reported machine instance cannot be read from Acronis Management Server database. This problem will require further investigation by checking the full system report. After collecting the report please submit a ticket through our support team and send me a private message on the forum with the submitted ticket ID, so that I can followup with it.
Thank you.

Hi,
Because Acronis support was taking forever I decided to try installing agent virtual appliances on my VMware hosts instead of using an agent for VMware on my Windows server. The ESXi configuration now works.
