Assuming that you have the backup of the Windows 2000 system -
If you have a license forBackup & Recovery 11 Virtual Edition, you can install Agent for ESX(i) (either as appliance or as Windows agent) and recover this backup as a 'new virtual machine' on this esx server. For other editions of Backup & Recovery you need to have a Universal Restore license - then you create a Backup & Recovery Bootable Media (using Media Builder component, adding necessary drivers), boot an empty VM with this CD, and recover as it was a physical machine - http://kb.acronis.com/content/35681 . Drivers for P2V migration are located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\UniversalRestore\DriversPack\

Acronis Snap Deploy 4 can't be used for this purpose, because it doesn't support Windows 2000 for migration to different hardware (Universal Deploy) - http://www.acronis.com/support/documentation/ASD4/index.html#13429.html
