How to create bootable VHD in Virtualbox from an Acronis True Image 2019 backup?
Acronis itself might've lost its functionality to create VHDs, but it's not hard to create such a backup oneself. For that purpose, it's necessary to first create the backup, which is gonna be a TIB-file.
- Create the backup (proprietary TIB-format)
- Open Disk Management: Windows-Key + R > diskmgmt.msc > Enter
- In Disk Management, click Action > Create VHD > give a name, size large enough to store the backup, choose VHD and Fixed sixe (Recommended) > OK
- Once the disk is listed (might take a quarter hour, depending on size), right click on it > Initialize Disk
- Right click on disk > New Simple Volume... > finish the process
- Right click on disk > Detach VHD
- In Acronis True Image 2019, recover your backup and choose the newly created VHD as target
- You successfully created a backup in VHD-form.
When trying to boot the VHD (Windows 10 x64 UEFI/GPT) in Virtualbox now though, it stops without an error-message. Having created a GPT-partition, the virtual machine reports having found no bootable disk in MBR-mode, of course.
Does someone know how to finish the process correctly?

Please take a read of forum topic: How to convert .tib to VM? which may offer you some clues for what you are trying to do, in particular: UEFI mode should be enabled in the virtual machine properties before restoring Acronis image.

Hi! It's possible indeed, see Converting Acronis backup.
