When updating to the new build using Group Policy, you need to create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) instead of using the "redeploy" option for the GPO created for installations of previous versions. When upgrading a build of Acronis True Image Echo Backup Server earlier than 8163 to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node, it is recommended that the Acronis Backup Server service is stopped during the upgrade; otherwise the locations may not be imported correctly. Acronis Virtual Appliance does not restore the enhanced vmxnet adapter to a new virtual machine The "Task failure handling" option does not work for the "Tower of Hanoi" backup scheme Validation of an archive located on a tape drive fails after reboot Acronis Virtual Appliance cannot access a VM's hard disk if vCenter uses "&" or "<" in the password and the appliance is connected to vCenter Backup of a Windows junction point infinitely prompts for credentials Information for Virtual Edition users Updating from build 11345 To update from build 11345 to build 12497, you have to remove virtual appliances and deploy new ones, particularly because of the addition of cluster support. (See below the outline of the update procedure.) After that, you will be able to perform updates from the management server in the same way as deployment. To update Agent for ESX/ESXi Virtual Appliance: Update the management server. Remove the virtual appliance from the management server. Delete the virtual appliance from its host. Revoke the license used by the agent. Deploy the agent anew from the management server (one agent per cluster). Reapply backup policies if required. More details of the update procedure can be found in the product help system and the Virtual Edition Installation Guide (search for "Updating ESX/ESXi Virtual Appliance", see "Manual update" in this section). An alternative method of backing up a cluster Backup of all virtual machines of a cluster with a single Agent for ESX/ESXi may take a significant amount of time. If length of the backup window is important, try the following workaround. Deploy Agent for ESX/ESXi to each clustered host instead of deploying a single agent to the cluster. You can do so from the management server. Just right-click the Virtual machines item instead of the vCenter group. If VMware DRS is enabled in the cluster, disable automatic migration of Agent for ESX/ESXi Virtual Appliances. You also should not migrate them manually to different hosts, in order to avoid the situation when an agent manages a host other than its own. Backup and recovery performance would considerably degrade in that case. Create a dynamic group of virtual machines hosted on the clustered hosts. Use the Host/VA criterion for the group. Create a backup policy and apply the policy to the dynamic group. Once a virtual machine migrates to a different host, the management server will deploy a backup task for this machine to the agent that manages that host.

Any chance you will upload the newest one that just came out a week or so ago, 12708?

Have been looking for Advanced version of these products for almost a year now. Don't understand why no one is releasing them.

sysop1101 (2011-02-05)

bloho, its because Acronis software is INSANELY expensive. Shit it $1000 just for the Standard edition and let's be honest the software is OKAY at best. I can't see an enterprise spending several thousand on Acronis Advanced Server considering how flaky the software is.
