ESX BackUp

Thread needs solution

Hello Everyone,

My goal is simple, i want to backup a physical ESX host and not just the VMs so i can restore the whole hypervisor.

i have Acronis B&R 11.5 advanced.

i deployed the agent appliance to the ESX , i successfully integrated Acronis with vCenter and i can see all VMs.. but i can't figure out how to backup the physical ESX and not just the VMs.

Can anyone help me with this matter ?

thank you very much

Ahmad

Hi Ahmad,

Currently we have a "ESXi configuration backup/recovery" feature, however it is present in Acronis Backup for VMware product only (http://www.acronis.com/en-us/business/backup/virtual-machine/ ). We're planning to add this feature into Acronis Backup Advanced product line in the next version (12). The feature allows to back up entire ESXi host configuration and recover it to bare metal (with or without VM data).

With Acronis Backup 11.5 Advanced you can only create a bootable media and use it to back up the entire ESXi host while booting from this media. Note that this will work for ESX hosts only (ESXi has specifics which prevent such scenario: it won't boot if you recover from such backup).

Thank you.
