Select the storage volume and the path to the VM data. Select the VM data you want to import. Select the type of import you want to perform. Select the storage destination. Review the summary information, and select **Finish**. ### How do I create a template from a virtual machine in Acronis Cloud Manager? In the console, select the VM you want to make a template of and click the "Template" option. Choose the type of template you want to create. Name the template and select the datastore you want to save it to. Review your options and click "Finish". ### What is the importance of the 'version' when creating a virtual machine in Acronis Cloud Manager? The version selected will apply to the virtual machine configuration and determines the Hyper-V host compatibility and features. ### Why does the memory monitoring of my VM always show maximum usage? The graph shows the memory allocated to the virtual machine, not the actual memory usage in the guest operating system. If your virtual machine is configured with fixed memory, a horizontal line on the graph is expected. ### How do I delete virtual hard drives from Acronis Cloud Manager data center? When deleting a virtual machine you are offered the option to delete the VM’s virtual hard drives. You can also delete a virtual hard drive by selecting a Host from the object tree and using the **Edit VHD(X)** function on a VM listed under the Host. ### What features does the Acronis Cloud Manager Web Management Console support? Through the Web Management Console introduced in Acronis Cloud Manager 5.0, you can administer Hyper-V and Azure environments. The web-based, multi-tenant management platform scalable for distributed and large environments provides ease of accessibility to life-cycle management, replication, and migration of Hyper-V and Azure virtual machines, along with virtualization resource monitoring, and role-based access control (RBAC).

They no longer need to use multiple tools, log in to Hyper-V hosts, or log in to the Azure Portal. Instead of constantly switching between tools, they can do it all using the unified console provided by Acronis Cloud Manager. In addition to saving time, many formerly complex tasks can be completed with just a few mouse clicks via the intuitive graphical user interface. Administrators can also leverage a web-based, multi-tenant console for ease of accessibility. ![Image 3: Acronis](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/6637e0c3b3a97e5a79610326e8f5416f.png) Strengthen business continuity Built-in fault tolerance, resilience, high availability, and replication, as well as backup and recovery to and from local, remote, and alternate sites, help mitigate the risk of downtime or data loss. Acronis Cloud Manager makes it easy to set up automatic replication to another Hyper-V cluster or to Azure, ensuring that organizations have secure copies of their most important data and VMs. ![Image 4: Acronis](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/9a5a3ea67095948eec89c14c79a104f1.png) Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) Acronis Cloud Manager’s unified platform eliminates the need for point solutions while providing everything needed to monitor, manage, migrate, recover, and protect small- or large-scale Microsoft hybrid cloud environments regardless of whether they’re single- or multi-tenant. The role-based access control (RBAC), network and security monitoring, and easy remote management tools eliminate the need for costly virtual private networks (VPNs), remote network access solutions, and complex permission management services. ![Image 5: Acronis](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/7946b32b7a223075adbf0e2b254b06de.png) Mitigate security and privacy risks Acronis Cloud Manager’s comprehensive role-based access control (RBAC) model prevents unauthorized users or tenants from viewing private data, private resources, or making malicious or accidental changes to the environment. Network and security monitoring help to identify unauthorized access attempts. ![Image 6: Acronis](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/c37a17e9aa0a81d69380385ccc00f972.png) Acronis Cloud Manager ## Discover the #1 hybrid cloud management platform for Microsoft Hyper-V and Azure [Contact sales](https://www.acronis.com/en-eu/contact-sales/?utm_webteam=product-slice) [Try now](https://www.acronis.com/en-eu/products/cloud-manager/trial/?utm_webteam=product-slice) [+41 52 569 10 98](tel:+41 52 569 10 98) [Find a reseller](https://www.acronis.com/en-eu/partners/locator/) ## Features ### Agentless management Lightweight, agentless technology means there’s no need to install additional software on any of your VMs ### Role-based action control (RBAC) Limit which resources can be viewed and what operations can be performed by specific users, administrators, and tenants ### Full virtual machine (VM) lifecycle management Centrally create, configure, manage, and maintain VMs across your private, public, and hybrid cloud environments Advanced ### Full-featured RESTful APIs Automate tasks and call Acronis Cloud Manager from other management tools – the API covers every feature that can be accessed through the GUI [All Features](https://www.acronis.com/en/products/cloud-manager/features/)
