Backup a physical machine to an new VM

Thread needs solution

Hi all,

I try to configure a backup (Acronis Backup 11.5), which create a backup from a physical device and konvert it to an virtual machine. The problem is, I can´t choose the destination storage because I miss the menu item "hosts & clusters"... Is it possible to reinstall this feature without rebooting the local system?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Nitram,

In Acronis Backup 11.5 you cannot specify a folder or resource pool in VM conversion settings (this option is planned to be added into the next version). Note however that you can specify the proper datastore where the converted VM will be placed to and also you can move the VM from the root resource pool to some dedicated one after you run conversion for the 1st time (the next conversions will still update this VM incrementally).

Thank you.

Hi Nitram,

For direct conversion into ESX(i) or Hyper-V VM from backup you need a license for the target virtualization host, i.e. Acronis Backup 11.5 Advanced for VMware license (this is besides the license you use to back up the source physical machine). If you don't have one then the only option for automatic conversion to VM is to save VM as set of files (.vmdk or .vhd).

Thank you.
