b. Click Add, and then enter the name or IP address of the machine where the Acronis WOL

Proxy is installed. Provide access credentials for the machine.

c. Repeat this step if there are several Acronis WOL Proxies.

3. When scheduling a backup policy, enable the Use Wake-On-LAN setting.

You also have the ability to delete proxies from the list. Please keep in mind that any change to this

option affects the entire management server. If you delete a proxy from the list, the Wake-On-LAN

functionality in the corresponding subnet will be disabled for all policies, including the policies

already applied.

3.2.6. VM protection options

These options define the management server behavior as related to backup and recovery of virtual

machines hosted on virtualization servers.

3.2.6.1. VMware vCenter integration

This option defines whether to show virtual machines managed by a VMware vCenter Server in the

management server and show the backup status of these machines in the vCenter.

Integration is available in all Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 advanced editions; a license for Virtual

Edition is not required. No software installation is required on the vCenter Server.

On the management server side

When integration is enabled, the vCenter's VMs and Templates inventory view appears in the

management server's GUI under Navigation > Virtual machines.

From the management server's standpoint, this is a dynamic group of virtual machines. The group

name matches the vCenter Server name or IP address, whatever was specified when configuring

integration. The group content is synchronized with the vCenter Server and cannot be changed on the

management server side. In case of an occasional inconsistency, right click the group and select

Refresh.

The virtual machines managed by the vCenter Server also appear in the All virtual machines group.

You can view virtual machine properties and power state; create groups of virtual machines and add

virtual machines to existing groups.

Backup and recovery of a virtual machine is not possible, unless Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent

for ESX/ESXi is deployed (p. 331) to the virtual machine's host. Such machines appear as not

manageable (grayed out).

Once the agent is deployed to an ESX/ESXi host (this requires a license for Acronis Backup & Recovery

10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition), the virtual machines from this host are ready for applying a

backup policy or individual backup. Such machines appear as manageable.

If Agent for Windows or Agent for Linux is installed in a guest system, but there is no Agent for ESX/ESXi on its

host, the virtual machine appears as not manageable under Virtual machines. Such machine has to be managed

as a physical one.
