Setting up regular conversion to a virtual machine

When creating a backup plan, you can set up regular conversion of a disk or volume backup to a virtual machine. By setting up regular conversion, you obtain a copy of your server or workstation on a virtual machine which can be readily powered on in case the original machine fails.

Restrictions

• Conversion of a backup from the following locations is not available: CD, DVD, Blu-Ray Discs, tape devices and Acronis Cloud Storage.
• Conversion to a Citrix XenServer virtual machine is not available as a part of the backup plan. As an alternative, use methods (b) and (c) as described in "Conversion methods".
• Microsoft Virtual PC does not support virtual disks larger than 127 GB. During a conversion to a Virtual PC machine, the size of every disk that exceeds 127 GB will be reduced to this value. If the disk resize is not possible, the conversion will fail. If you need larger virtual disks in order to connect them to a Hyper-V machine, use methods (b) and (c) as described in "Conversion methods".
