Scheduled Backup Conversions to VM?
I am trying out True Image 2019 to see if it will meet my needs. Ideally, in the event of a catastrophe, I would like to be able to restore my system to a VM on Hyper-V within minutes.
To test my backup plan, I backed up my system with Acronis and converted the backup from .tib format to .vhdx format for use with Hyper-V. Unfortunately, the conversion process took over 24 hours to complete. In an emergency, I would need to be able to restore the system backup to a VM much more quickly, so I would need to have an updated .vhd file at the ready.
It appears that there is no way to have the .tib -> .vhdx conversion run on incremental backups so that an updated .vhdx is available for fast restoration of the backed up system in a VM? I was previously using another solution from another vendor (StorageCraft) that could restore its backup file format that could run in VirtualBox instantaneously.
Is there another Acronis product that can do this? I have 1 workstation that I need for this.
Thanks.

Not sure of your requirements or budget but you might want to have a look at and possibly consider Acronis Backup 12.5. Intended for Businesses, it has the functionality I believe you are looking for. For more look HERE

Thanks Enchantech, didn't realize Backup had the option!
Here's the specific portion about including automated conversion in the backup scheme.
