Backup for VMware discontinued?
Is this Software discontinued? Haven't got an update since ages and can't find it on the Acronis website anymore. What es the successor for customers having an ongoing support contract?

Hi
Following on from Dennis's question, can Acronis Backup 12 open backup files created with Acronis Backup for VMWare (vmprotect)?
Thanks

Yes it is possible, however note that there will be no vSphere-like presentation of VMs hierarchy when viewing Acronis Backup for VMware backups from Acronis Backup 12 web console, so you'll need to check the recovery points list and identify the required backup basing on the timestamps. This is caused by severe difference in archive handling approaches between these versions.
Therefore we recommend keeping Acronis Backup for VMware 9 copy by side (for example have a powered off appliance) for recovery from the older archives, while new backups should be continued using Acronis Backup 12.
