vCenter Integration, New Restore Task, step 1

Note that it's not possible to operate with folders in the VMs and Templates view of vSphere client.
In this case you will get Acronis context menu items only for Virtual Machines.

Note that vCenter integration is managed by a particular Backup for VMware Agent. Therefore if the
Agent is inaccessible from vCenter side, the functionality available from context menus will not work
properly.

VMware vSphere and Acronis Backup for VMware synchronization

With VCenter integration enabled, all operations performed in the VMware vSphere client are
mirrored in the main Acronis Backup for VMware interface. These synchronized operations are: new
tasks and the tasks' progress. The Recent Tasks section shows the progress of backup/restore/etc.
tasks executed through the context menu in the VMware vSphere client. Also, when backing up to or
restoring from a new location via the context menu option in the VMware vSphere client, the recent
locations in Backup for VMware are also updated.

Similarly, all backup/restore/etc. tasks performed by Acronis Backup for VMware are registered as
Tasks in VMware vSphere client.
