Good day!
When trying to backup a VM via Acronis Backup for VMware (build 9.2.10571) from an ESXI server (6.7U3, 7.0.2), the task hangs with an error:

Hello Anton,

welcome to Acronis forums! The error indicates an incorrect network setup: the Virtual Appliance cannot connect to the ESX(i) host using its registration name obtained from vCenter. Please refer to 60505: Acronis Cyber Backup: operations with a virtual machine fail with "NBD_ERR_NETWORK_CONNECT" for more details.
