2.4 Installation of Agent for VMware
Agent for VMware enables backup and recovery of ESX(i) virtual machines without installing agents
into the guest systems. The agent is delivered as a virtual appliance.
Preparation
We highly recommend that you install Acronis Backup Management Server prior to the Agent for
VMware installation.
Installation
There are three methods of installing Agent for VMware:

Importing (p. 50) to a ESX(i) host as an OVF template.
Use this method for troubleshooting purposes or if you cannot install Acronis Backup
Management Server for some reason.

Deployment from Acronis Backup Management Server to a specified host or cluster.
Connect the console to the management server. In the Navigation tree, right click Virtual
machines, then click Deploy Agent for VMware. Refer to the context help for further
instructions.

Automatic deployment from Acronis Backup Management Server.
This is the easiest method. It is recommended in most cases. Connect the console to the
management server. In the Navigation tree, right click Virtual machines, and then click Configure
VMware vCenter integration. Specify the vCenter Server, and then enable Automatic
deployment. Any time a virtual machine is selected for backup but the agent is not installed on
its host, the Virtual Appliance will be automatically deployed on the host when the backup starts.
