Acronis backup recovery vmware converter

Not sure about this but I think you need TI so that you can convert the. I had the same error message with the Windows Standalone Converter version 4. It worked fine with the Echo Workstation v9. I tried to run the TrueImageCmd. TIB file but just got a message "Virtual disk conversion failed".

That's realy NOT helpful! I really wish I could down-grade. Hello, I am having the same problem. Purchased the new True Image Home and the Plus pack both of which claim to allow P2V migration but there is no documentation at all that describes how.

I also tried the VMware converter to no avail. I wonder if this isn't product misrepresentation if no one has figured out how to do this and Acronis remains silent on the matter. Please check this KB article for more information. I saw this thread when checking on solutions for converting.

TIB images are recognised correctly by the converter though an image from TIH was rejected as being unrecognised. As I mainly use 11, this doesn't give me any issues - I don't like the interface on the later versions from up! A little like the divide between Win XP and Vista. TIB image files. TIB image correctly, but the resulting converted.

VMDK machine doesn't boot in VMware Server 2, so there seems to be something in the image construct that converter doesn't cope with correctly. I guess I could dig out my copy of TIH 9 and create a TIB image with that to prove that the above press release is telling the truth about converter but in the end I just installed converter on the physical machine I was trying to virtualise and did it direct, bypassing the need for an image file. I have the same problem.

The VMware converter comes with the message: The source virtual machine is not recognized. I have the latest VMware converter version 4. Also the latest VMware Player version 3. You restore from the virtual drive containing the. Depending on the conversion way, make sure that the correct agent has been installed and appropriate license is used. The resulting machine will have basic volumes, even if Linux logical volume structure is present in the backup.

The same applies to dynamic volumes used in Windows systems. If you want to recreate logical or dynamic volumes on the machine, perform the conversion to a manually created virtual machine.

Otherwise, the resulting machine will use the BIOS boot firmware. When recovering to a manually created virtual machine, you may want its disks to have a different interface than those of the original machine. For these reasons, if the machine uses a custom boot loader, you might need to configure the loader to point to the new devices and reactivate it. Should the need arise, use the procedure described in "How to reactivate GRUB and change its configuration". If all steps above have been executed and issue still persists, go to error troubleshooting step.

Troubleshoot the conversion to virtual machine errors. Complete all steps before proceeding to collect information step. Error during conversion may point to the issue in the source data, e.

If regular conversion fails, confirm that the backup file is created correctly prior to start the conversion. Check the recovery to "New virtual machine" with the same destination to allocate the issue.

If you suspect source data corruption but the archive validation is successful, perform recovery to other type of virtual machine or to other destination or recover a part of the data to allocate the issue.

The agent should be able to create or modify virtual machines on the specified virtualization server:. If the conversion to the virtual machine has completed successfully, but the operating system is not booting or post-boot problems appear:.

If a known solution has been applied, but the issue still persists, go to prerequisites step to troubleshoot the new issue.
