As I have not done this before, I am turning to this forum for some pointers and general advice. I have seen a lot of discussions about VHD and the ability vs.

The Universal Restore feature is used to restore a backup to dissimilar hardware. Does that include virtual machines? What type of devices do I need to get drivers for to get a basic working system? This will not be a permanent installment. I am only doing it to salvage some important information.

So it doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs to be a working Windows 7 instance as it was before I dismantled the system. I can browse it in the Acronis bootable media environment and I can select the point in time to which to restore to, but after selecting what to restore “recover” and I click on Next, I am presented with a nasty error message: “the file is corrupted”. See exhibit A, B, C and D below for evidence.

It doesn’t say what file specifically is corrupted. Also, for the step “select destination of disk 1” the list containing disk 1 and disk 2 are grayed out and not selectable. Could it be that True Image is not capable of restoring its data to disks that are not initialized? It doesn’t know how to do that on its own? I have to do it manually for it before arriving at this step? You will also note that the label “select destination of disk 1” is misleading because the source TIBX file is on disk 2, not on disk 1.

Rather than restoring disk 1 to itself. It could also be that True Image is inadvertently telling the truth rather than misleading. That is, its own version of the truth and the results are evident above, they are catastrophic. To be fair though, I don’t think this software was ever designed to be used this way.

It was meant to be used directly on hardware, not in a VM context. However, you will correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this is the most discussed and best documented as in Acronis KB articles approach to turning a TIB file into a working virtual machine. This in itself seems to be rooted in the proprietary nature of the TIB file format and the lack of support for VHD conversion or false believes that True Image lacks this feature.

It may have been removed in some previous versions but it’s definitely available in True Image , presumably after pressure from users I have not read all the discussions in detail. Some observations on my part however are as follows. Was this file created using Ti or TI ? You go on to say in post 2 that you created a VDI which to my understanding is a Virtual Desktop established on a remote server. If my understanding is correct then I assume VirtualBox serves as this remote server?

So why are you attempting to use the TIBX file in the manner you described in post 2? Using VSS Doctor. I did try initializing the VDI disks before booting up from the Acronis media. That still backfired, with the same nasty error message. It’s not on any server, it’s hosted on my main computer and accessed locally.

Just follow the wizard for creation. Or, you could open the location where the backup is stored using Explorer, click on the backup file to select it, then right click on the file and hover your cursor over Acronis True Image in the menu and then choose the Mount option in the fly out menu.

Again follow the wizard to mount the backup. Mounting will allow you to navigate in the backup to wherever the data is you want to retrieve and from there you can drag and drop or copy and paste the data to a new location on your PC thus eliminating entirely the need for VHD, VM’s, etc. Converting to VHD is the best first step.

If TI thinks the tibx backup is corrupt, that may not work either. You should be able to use Universal Restore to inject the Windows 7 64 bit hard disk controller driver needed by VirtualBox after the VM is setup. Getting your hands on the driver will be the hard part. I haven’t used VirtualBox for over 10 years, so I can’t be of any help. I was not sure if going for a VHD file is the right thing to do because technically I would be using a different hardware.

So I was avoiding the use of VHD. But now I know that it’s the best first step. Place the driver on removable media and click Retry. Otherwise, you can add the driver by applying Universal Restore under bootable media. Yes, I used the “add existing backup” option and then “convert to VHD”. The process appears to have failed at the very end, given the message I posted above. It complains about missing driver.

Is this expected? Where do I place the driver if I have it? I’m not sure yet what driver is missing. It says to place it on removable media.

Would that be in the same directory where the TIBX file is? The reason it’s not enough to mount the TIBX and browse for the data to extract is because only a running application from within the Windows 7 installation is able to read the needed data. This appears to be my Samsung NVMe disk on my current system.

So what action do I take here? I go on to identify the devices and find their drivers? Then click Retry button for each and hope that it satisfies these prompts for drivers and True Image ends writing the VHD file correctly?

What happens if I click Ignore button, will the VHD file still be written correctly or would it be corrupted? Also, how would I go about using Unviersal Restore to apply these drivers as the message suggests?

It only supports VHD. It’s straight out lying by labeling this feature “Convert to VHD”. I will continue down this rabbit hole. I will get back to you guys later. Please advise on what I’m supposed to do with these missing drivers. I’m not sure why that is coming up as a problem, and why it does so at the very end of the process when True Image is about to finalize the VHDX file. I have not looked up all of these but the first missing driver appears to be for my current system running on a SSD NVMe disk from Samsung, which was never used on the old system.

I assume the other missing drivers are also for my current system. So I fail to see why this is a concern why these messages are showing up. Surely, any documents etc from that Win 7 PC would be accessible without going to all this trouble of making a working VM here, by just using the normal options to browse the contents of the. I was never successful in using VirtualBox personally but have been using the free VMware Player for some years. The current version is 15 and runs fine on my HP Omen i7 laptop which I use to host a variety of different VM’s used for testing.

Restoring an Acronis. I couldn’t be bothered to try to work out why at the time and just deleted the VM again! I probably should have tried using Universal Restore but it wasn’t a priority at that time to fix it. Acronis is applying Universal Restore at the end of the conversion process. That explains why you see the missing driver messages. ISO file and have the. In my case it was on a NAS. I have done this myself with success. There is no doubt that I could keep at it with my experiment and reach success but I am not inclined to do so.

So I could not follow through with this. So for the third attempt that’s what I did. I still ran into BSOD booting in normal mode. But right now I have successfully booted in safe mode. When upgrading a system disk, I prefer to “install” the operating system from a backup rather than cloning the old disk to the new disk. We had an interesting discussion earlier regarding cloning or the failure of True Image to clone a disk to a NVMe target disk that some users reported.

My impression is that both cloning and one click to boot a system on dissimilar hardware spells “trouble”. So why take that path if you can avoid it, right? A virtual machine can be treated like any physical PC. With all the pitfalls that come with that. Meaning that a restore or recovery from a backup file can or should be done just as easily as to a physical device. Also, Acronis Unviversal Restore should work equally well in a virtual machine as in a physical machine.

But I did try that at first using VirtualBox:. Unfortunately, it did not work for some reason. I was told that “the file is corrupted” when it was not. Also, my VirtualBox native VDI disk files were displayed as “not initialized”, and it did not help initializing them manually. But as a general idea or principle, I agree that the Hypervisor should be allowed to create whatever virtual disk format it wants to use, and then you boot up Acronis recovery media and restore your system from backup to that virtual disk just like on a physical disk.

You and I are on the same page with this. I do need to dive into Virtual Machines more as Virtual Disk is becoming a much more prominent player in the world of computers. I can see a point in time in what I think will be the near future where operating systems will run virtually.

This will be coupled with virtual storage that will be seamless to the end user with respect to data location, that location being a combination of local physical, remote physical, and cloud storage which will likely only appear to the user as one giant storage space. If I am right then the VM players are going to have to become much more competitive as MS is upping their game here.

I notice now in Windows 10 20H2 that Hyper V has changed dramatically over what it was prior to version release which is probably when the change came to Hyper V. If I get the time I might have another go at it just to see if I can work it out. I have been a bit strapped for time lately so priorities take precedence here.

I agree with your outlook in regard to virtualization technology. It’s one of the reasons I wanted to try this VM approach rather than restoring to a physical machine, like I have been doing for the past 10 years or so whenever I needed to restore a live operating system.

In fact, I think virtualization paves the way to make the process even easier, especially when the underlying hardware is significantly different from what the old operating system used to run on. But I have a lot to learn to make better use of it all. It’s not a priority for me, but it’s an area I would like to explore more.

I appreciate your help with this, and the help of everyone else on this topic. I know it has been extensively covered on these forums. Unfortunately that didn’t work out so well for me. Next up, I will try to sum up what has been discussed in this topic to create some sort of overview of the different methods that can be used to go “from TIB to a working VM”. That sounds good to me. A well written summation of a proven procedure is a great addition to the Forum. Since you have vision for the future use of VM’s and virtual disks, I will express my vision here to see what you think.

What I believe we will see in the future are machines coupled to virtual storage that will consist of multiple and in come cases many multiples of physical storage devices. Being virtual this storage will appear tot he user as a single large storage area. VM’s will be created to hosts virtual disk s that may contain one or more operating systems and will be stored in the aforementioned storage space.

A host machine will be utilized to run the VM’s on and depending on the capability of the host multiple VM’s may be run at the same time. The more resources that are available on the host the more VM’s that can be run at the same time. This will allow very secure environment for the user which will increase the need and capabilities of network malware protection.

AI and machine learning will play a major role in malware detection and prevention. One is to restore the backup to a VM just like you would on a physical machine, using Acronis bootable recovery media.

The other is to use the backup as a virtual disk VD inside a virtual machine. Note that “restore” and “recover” are used interchangeably.

They both mean the same thing, that is to restore or to recover a backup to a target medium. So the very first think you will need to do is to convert TIB or TIBX whichever you have to a format that a virtualization software can use. You may need to do more than one conversion to arrive at a format that your particular virtualization software can use. Open True Image and make sure the backup file you want to convert is added to the list of backup tasks, otherwise you will have to add it first.

This will bring up a typical Save As dialog box. This is because True Image is trying to guess what format would best suite your needs, and it’s assuming that you will use it on the same computer that you’re doing the conversion on. Alternatively, you can also select VHD from the “Save as type” dropdown, if available.

There are several tools you can use to do this. This requires Hyper-V to be available and enabled in Windows. Hyper-V is only available in the following Windows versions and editions. One reason you may not want to enable Hyper-V is if you’re using VirtualBox as your hypervisor, because that cripples VirtualBox and usually results in none of your VMs working correctly.

That’s all the more reason to use VirtualBox tools to do the conversion for you. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec dictum eu mauris a consectetur. Mauris ut consectetur tellus, eget accumsan ex.

If you decide to restore the backup to a virtual machine rather than using it as a virtual disk, you can create a new VM and let the virtualization software create an empty disk for you in whatever format is the default in that particular virtualization software. This way you don’t need to worry about converting whatever image format you have to make it compatible with the virtualization software.

Once you have such a document, you could also consider creating a new ‘Tutorial’ topic in the forum to attach the document to with a covering explanation, then see if Ekaterina would allow it to be made a pinned topic!
