Hello Giorgio,

Welcome to our forum and thank you for your question. I will be happy to assist you.

Unfortunately freeware versions of VMware ESXi servers does not support vStorage API. This component is essential for Acronis Backup&Recovery Virtual edition, that's why ABR does not support freeware versions of ESXi. Please check this article for additional information.

I can also recommend the following page where you can get more information about various APIs.

Please let me know if you have additional questions and I will definitely help you.

Thank you.
