TROUBLESHOOTING:

End user is failing to back up a virtual machine to cloud using agentless backup in Acronis
Backup Cloud. The virtual machines are running on a Free ESXi host. Select the reason of the
problem with the appropriate solution: *

 Agentless backup does not support cloud storage. Select local destination for backup
 Agentless backup is available only for Hyper-V server. To successfully backup the VMs you
need to install the Agent for Windows/Linux inside the guest OS
 Free ESXi is supported with limitations: you cannot perform an agentless backup. To
successfully backup the VMs you need to install the Agent for Windows/Linux inside the guest
OS
 User has exceeded the backup storage quota of 100GB, however when you calculate total
amount of cloud backups available for restore, you can see only about 60GB of data. What is the
reason for this behavior? *

 Incomplete backups in Cloud Storage occupy 40GB of storage space, only end user can see
and remove them
 Local backups are also counted in the quota
 Encrypted backups are not calculated in the usage quota

Why there are no virtual machines available for download and installation in this view (Add
machine)?

 Offering item for virtual machines has been disabled or the quotas has been exceeded
 End customers cannot protect virtual machines
 Agent for Windows should be installed to protect virtual machines
 If backup fails on Windows machine with a snapshot error, what is the correct approach to verify
and fix Microsoft VSS functionality? *

 Use Acronis VSS Doctor tool

 Disable Microsoft VSS in backup options
 Make 100% of volume size available for Shadow Copy Storage

Windows machine backup fails with VSS snapshot error. You verify with DiskShadow
tool that the issue is with the VSS service. How can you create machine backups while
the VSS issue is being addressed?
*

 Use file-level backup with option Always create snapshot

 Deactivate VSS backup option and use SnapAPI snapshots. To protect transactional
applications, setup pre-/post- data capture commands to put applications in external backup
mode
 There is no way to create Windows machine backups without VSS
