1.2.2 What's new in Update 1
The product is renamed from Acronis Backup & Recovery for vCloud to Acronis Backup Advanced for

The updated version of the product includes the following new features:
File recovery
You can enable users to recover individual files and folders (p. 48) from backups of virtual
machines.
Applying a backup plan to a vApp
You can apply a backup plan (p. 44) to an entire vApp. The backup plan will be applied to all
virtual machines that are currently in the vApp and to any new machines that appear in it.
Setting up a default backup plan for an organization
When enabling backup for an organization (p. 27), you can select a system backup plan that will
be automatically applied to all current and future virtual machines in the organization.
Adding network adapters during recovery
Before recovering a virtual machine (p. 46), you can add or remove network adapters for the
machine and specify the settings for those adapters.
Recreating the original vApp during recovery
When recovering a virtual machine, (p. 46) you can automatically recreate the machine's original
vApp if that vApp is no longer present in the organization.
Improved security
Agent for vCloud stores the metadata of the backed-up virtual machines in a more secure,
password-protected database. A strong password is generated automatically during the upgrade.
You can change the password in the settings of Agent for vCloud (p. 20).
