Shutdown VM before backup

Thread needs solution

Hi,

It's posible to shutdown VM before backup by backup plan configuration?
Like Pre/post commands, but for entire VM?

I mean: ABR send command to VCenter to shutdown VM; make a backup; then sent command to power up VM.

Hi,

While there is no such option in the GUI it is possible to implement the scenario using "acrocmd" tool (command line tool) which allows to run a previously configured backup task or backup of particular VM on Acronis Backup Appliance or Acronis Backup Windows Agent (see examples here: http://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/AcronisBackup_11.5/i… ). This tool can be run from Windows or Linux machine before running it you can run a script which powers off the VMs (see example here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1362575). The 3rd command in chain will be to power On the VM.

Thank you.

Hi, Vasily.

Thanx for solution.
It would be good if this feature would be implemented in a future releases of ABR.
