Tib To Vhd Converter Tool Box (!). Disk2vhd is a tool that creates virtual hard disk on physical disks for use in Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-v virtual. First thing you need to do, is to convert the TIB image to VHD Virtual Hard Drive format. Older versions of TIB files created by Acronis True Image version 10 and 11 (released in 2006 and 2007) can be converted by the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone directly to VMDK disk format.

Introduction
Acronis True Image 2010 backup (TIB) files can be converted to Windows backup VHD files. There are several reasons why Acronis recommends doing this:
- You can boot your machine from the converted VHD file to test if it is not corrupt and works fine;
- You can boot from the converted VHD for testing purposes. For example, to install a new application and see if it runs fine;
- You can keep the converted VHD file for emergency situations. For example, if your machine crashes and you need to get it up and running in no time, you can just boot from the VHD file.
- In Windows 7, the VHD file can be mounted as an additional drive.
(!) If you are going to boot from the converted VHD file, it must contain either Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise Edition.

(!) If you are going to mount the VHD file in Windows 7, there can be non-system Windows partitions.
(!) Any changes you make to the booted or mounted VHD file are saved to it. If you boot from the VHD file and make changes to the data that was not backed up (e.g. delete a file from drive that was not backed up), these changes will affect your live system.
(!) File backup (as opposed to disk/partition backup) cannot be converted to VHD.
(!) You can only boot the same machine the backup of which was converted to VHD. Booting other machines from the same VHD files will fail.
(!) You cannot run the converted VHD file as a virtual machine.

Converting Acronis backup
Users of the Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows 7 can convert a tib image of the system partition into the vhd format if they want to use the converted vhd file for booting the operating system. Or, they may want to get the ability to mount images without using Acronis True Image Home 2011.
To convert an Acronis disk image (tib file) to a vhd virtual disk:
- Click Convert Acronis backup to Windows backup on the Tools & Utilities screen.
- Select the disk image to convert.
If the backup is password-protected, Acronis True Image Home 2011 will ask for it. Note that the resulting vhd file will lose password protection.
Converting an incremental backup requires all the previous incremental backups and the original full backup. Converting a differential backup requires the original full backup. The result of conversion will always be a full backup.
- Specify the path to the file to be created.
The converted file will be saved to the default location, but you can select another one by clicking Browse. The file can be directed to any local storage supported by Acronis True Image Home 2011 (except the Acronis Secure Zone and CD/DVD). In addition, it can be directed to an SMB share.
- Click Proceed in the Summary window.

When a tib image selected for conversion contains partitions, for example, from two physical hard disk drives, the program will create two vhd files corresponding to those physical drives.
