Snapshot of VM's with "PCI Passthrough" enable

Thread needs solution

Hi

I know it is not possible to take a Snapshot of a VM which contains a pci passthrough device, but is there a way to tell the VM to Shutdown and after Backup to reboot automatically?

regards
Rico

Hi!

Such operation is not supported in the current version of Acronis Backup for VMware unfortunately. In the next version (coming this year) we're going to add REST API which would allow scripting the VM shutdown, subsequent backup and VM power on after backup.

Thank you.

Hi,

The new version will contain Acronis Backup Advanced for VMware (centralized scalable solution) and Acronis Backup for VMware (point solution for vSphere) features combined in one product. Of course there will be other new features added as well (which are not present in either of the products), though I can't share more details at the moment. The release is planned for this year - closer to the middle of the year, but I can't say anything more definite.

Thank you.
