Cannot create VHD from "Other" backup ATI 2019
I did search but couldn't find the answer to what must be simple.
I want to create a VHD(x) from a backup made on another computer. I added the computer using "Add Backup" & "Add Existing Backup". Then I right click the backup name and select "Convert to VHD..." I select the most recent backup (I tried older ones too) and the target, which is 4x the space I should need.
The status says "Preparing..." then it switches to the message that would appear if I'd clicked on the big blue button with "i" within it: "This backup was added manually or via auto-search. To create new versions, click 'reconfigure', and then reselect the source." But I don't want to mess with the backup configuration of the other computer, just convert its backup to a VHD(x).
All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback. I am testing failure scenarios and I am assuming the original system boot disk is completely gone so I want to run it as a VM on another machine.
When I try to create the VHD the default, that cannot be changed, is to product a VHDx file (see attached). Though as described I can't do that.

You should be able to build a VM and just restore the Acronis .tib to the virtual disk using the mounted recovery .iso to boot from and restore "offline".
if it's a Win10 OS, this works great. You may have a license issue though as the VM will be considered different hardware to Windows.
