Rather than converting a TIB file to a virtual disk file, which requires additional operations to bring the virtual disk into use, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 performs the conversion by recovery of a disk backup to a fully configured and operational new virtual machine. You have the ability to adapt the virtual machine configuration to your needs when configuring the recovery operation.
With Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Agent for Windows or Agent for Linux, you can create a new virtual machine in a local or network folder. You can start the machine using the respective virtualization software or prepare the machine files for further usage. The following table summarizes the available virtual machine formats and the actions you can take to add the machine to a virtualization server.
