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 Online Backup 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".
