This option is effective only for Windows machines on which Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Agent for VMware vSphere ESX(i) (Windows) is installed. To access this option, connect the console to the machine and then select Options > Machine options from the top menu.
This option defines the vCenter Server or ESX(i) host whose virtual machines the agent will back up.
We recommend specifying the vCenter Server rather than an individual host so the agent can access any virtual machine managed by the vCenter Server.
If you have specified the server when installing the agent, this option is already configured. Otherwise, specify the name or IP address of the server and the credentials that the agent will use to connect to it.
Centralized backup and recovery tasks will run under this account by default. This means the account should have the necessary privileges on the vCenter Server. Otherwise, you will need to specify credentials for the account with the necessary privileges in every centralized backup plan or recovery task.
