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 vmProtect 9 Agent. Therefore if the Agent is
inaccessible from vCenter side, the functionality available from context menus will not work
properly.

VMware vSphere and Acronis vmProtect 9 synchronization

With VCenter integration enabled, all operations performed in the VMware vSphere client are
mirrored in the main Acronis vmProtect 9 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 vmProtect 9 are also updated.

Similarly, all backup/restore/etc. tasks performed by Acronis vmProtect 9 are registered as Tasks in
VMware vSphere client.
