how to convert a backup to a virtual machine (vmware or other)?
hi,
i have a backup and now i want to convert it to a virtual machine so i can boot a old win 32 vista installation. (i have backup of that partition).
How can i achieve this? I can't find a tutorial for acronis home 11 plus, only for older versions...
sometimes this is also called p2v...
any tips?

See: Tools and Utilities/Convert Acronis backup to windows backup - that will create a VHD.
If you are using VirtualBox as the software to run your VM then use:
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\vboxmanage" clonehd vhd_name.vhd vdi_name.vdi --format vdi
Change vhd/vdi_name to the filoe names you are/want to use. The VDI will be a lot smaller than the VHD.
Just as a further bit of info if you want a disk not to be included in VirtualBox snashots then use this command:
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\vboxmanage" modifyhd Disk_name.vdi --type writethrough
