* Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node handles tape libraries and autoloaders by using
Removable Storage Management (RSM). Since Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 do
not support RSM, a storage node installed in these operating systems does not support tape
libraries and autoloaders.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for ESX/ESXi
• VMware ESX Infrastructure 3.5 Update 2+
• VMware ESX/ESXi 4.0
The Agent for ESX/ESXi is delivered as a virtual appliance.
The Agent for ESX/ESXi supports all VMware ESXi licenses except for the free license. This is because
the agent uses the Remote Command Line appliance, and free VMware ESXi restricts access to this
appliance to read-only access. The agent works during the VMware ESXi evaluation period. Once a
free VMware ESXi serial key is entered, the Agent for ESX/ESXi will stop functioning.
