 During conversion which is part of a backup plan (p. 134), the software creates the virtual

machine in addition to creating the backup. The virtual machine has the same configuration as

the original machine.

 During recovery to the "New virtual machine" destination (p. 137), the software creates the

virtual machine from a backup you already have. You can change the configuration of the virtual

machine.

Depending on the agent that performs the conversion, Acronis Backup can create a virtual machine

of any of these formats:

Agent for Windows, Agent for Linux

 VMware Workstation

 Microsoft Virtual PC (includes Windows Virtual PC)

 Citrix XenServer OVA (only during recovery to the "New virtual machine" destination)

 Kernel-based Virtual Machine

 Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RAW format)

Agent for VMware

 VMware ESX(i)

Agent for Hyper-V

 Microsoft Hyper-V

6.2.1 Considerations before conversion

Converting a UEFI-based machine

Virtual machines that use Unified Extensible Hardware Interface (UEFI) are currently supported in

VMware ESXi 5 only. If the target virtualization platform is ESXi 5, Acronis Backup creates a

UEFI-based machine. Otherwise, the resulting machine will use the BIOS boot firmware.

Acronis Backup adjusts the Windows boot mode to the BIOS boot firmware and ensures that

Windows remains bootable.

For Linux operating systems, changing the boot mode from UEFI to BIOS is not supported. When

converting a UEFI-based machine running Linux, make sure that it uses GRUB version 1 and that the

target virtualization platform is ESXi 5. For more details, see "Support for UEFI-based machines" (p.

29).

Logical and dynamic volumes

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 as described in “Recovery to a

manually created virtual machine” (p. 140).

Custom loader reactivation

 During conversion, the disk interfaces may be changed as a result of migration to a different

platform or just manually. The software sets the system-disk interface to be the same as the

default interface for the new platform. The default interface is SCSI for VMware and IDE for other

supported platforms. If the system disk interface changes, the name of the boot device also

changes, while the boot loader still uses the old name.
