{--vmid=<virtual machine ID>|--vmname=<virtual machine name>}
The methods of access to a virtual machine
If Agent for ESX(i) or Agent for Hyper-V is registered on the management server, you can access a virtual machine directly from the management server without specifying the virtualization host:
--host=<ams hostname> --credentials=<user name>,<password> --service=ams --vmname=<virtual machine name>
If Agent for ESX(i) or Agent for Hyper-V is not registered on the management server, specify the virtual appliance or the Windows host running the agent:
--host=<agent hostname> --credentials=<user name>,<password> --vmname=<virtual machine name>
When operating within the virtual appliance or the Windows host running the agent, you do not need to specify access parameters other than --vmname or --vmid.
vmid
--vmid=<virtual machine ID>
Virtual machine unique identifier, assigned by the virtualization software. Use the list vms command to obtain identifiers of virtual machines.
vmname
--vmname=<virtual machine name>
Virtual machine name. If the Acronis agent finds more than one virtual machine with the same name, an error occurs (this does not apply to clustered Hyper-V virtual machines). In this case, use the --vmid parameter.
