How to deploy an Acronis image in a virtual machine. Install an additional HDD in Virolbox. Create disk partitions using Acronis Disk Director Suite. Data recovery on VM

Connecting images to Acronis True Image Home 2011 as virtual media allows you to access them as physical disks. This allows you to view images, copy selected files to hDD, as well as edit a TIB file.

To view a backup copy to windows Explorer Just click the corresponding TIB file. You can also click on the file right-click and select the "Overview" command in the context menu. In the viewing mode, the selected files can only be copied to the hard disk. When copying files from the backup viewed copy, the copied files lose the attributes "compressed" and "encrypted".

To edit the corresponding TIB file, you need to connect as a virtual media. You can work with a virtual disk as with a real disk, that is, to open, save, copy, move, create, delete files or folders. If necessary, you can connect read-only image.

To start the "Connection Wizards", in the main program window, select Tools and Utilities\u003e Connect the image.

Choose backup To connect and click Next. If the archive is in the "ACRONIS Safety Zone", select "Zone".

If the backup contains incremental archives, you can select one of the consecutive incremental versions by the date and time of creation.

Keep in mind that to connect an incremental version you need to have everything previous versions Backup and initial full backup. If at least one of the serial versions is missing, the connection will be impossible.

To connect the differential version of the backup, also necessarily the presence of an initial full backup.

If the backup is password protected, there will be a request to enter a password. Further operations will not be available until the correct password is entered.

If the image contains several partitions, then by default they will be selected for connection, letters will automatically be assigned to discs.

If you click the "Protect" button, the image connection operation will start. The connected image will be available for viewing, but will not be available for editing. So that the plug-in is available for editing, click "Parameters".

Check the "Connect read / write mode" checkbox. Click "Start." A local disk will appear in the My Computer folder.

You can work with files and folders as if they are located on the real disk.

To disable the virtual disk, click on the Right Mouse button and select "Disable".

File backups, disk images and partitions by default have the extension .Tib, but you can connect only images.

The image connection operation is available only for FAT and NTFS file systems.

If the connected image is changed, an incremental backup will be created in which the changes will be saved.

I decided to upgrade Windows for the other day I began to slow down - almost 2 years from installation. But I didn't want to part at all - I got used to her, and coughing was able to drag it to the VirtualBox method of tyk and reading manuals on the forums. The worst - BSOD - I defeated and I am writing the passage of the quest.

DiscLamer: The task seems trivial, however ready solution I did not find and killed almost a day to develop my own algorithm for passing through pitfalls. By the way, the VirtualBox developers write that if you are lucky, it is not supported, officially migration.

I was lucky ...

Need: Mergeide, Acronis True Image, Acronis LiveCD (USB)

1. I make a cast of an old system: Breezing Acronis True Image - Create an image disk - Not a section (my system stood on SSD and therefore weighed only 50GB).
2. Put on SSD fresh Windows X64 with drivers. I didn't want to create x64 systems, so I climbed the X64 system, so I climbed into the BIOS and turned on Intel Virtualization Tech.
3. Deployed the image on another SATA-HDD, connected it instead of SSD, loaded with old windows. (Faster it would be patchy on SSD, before installing fresh Windows - but then I did not think about it).
4. Now the most important thing is to disappear registry in order to VirtualBox not choked:
   With the admin rights, I launch Mergeide.
   I launch regedit and patch:
   First of all, it is necessary to remove the HKLM \\ SYSTEM \\ MountedDevices registry branch;
   Open the HKLM \\ System \\ CurrentControlSet \\ System \\ CurrentControlSet \\ Services and Start parameter to 0x00000000 (0) in the following sections of this branch: AMDIDE, AMDSATA, AMDXATA, ATAPI, Intelide, MSAHCI, PCIIDE;
   If this does not help (I helped), you need to reset more and these sections: ADP94XX, ADPAHCI, ADPU320, AIC78XX, AMDSBS, ARC, AICSAS, ELXSTOR, HPSAMD, IASTORV, IIRSP, LSI_FC, LSI_SAS, LSI_SAS2, LSI_SCSI, Megasas, Megasr, NFRD960, NVRAID, NVSTOR, QL2300, QL40XX, SISRAID2, SISRAID4, VHDMP, VSMRAID, ALIIDE, CMDIDE, NVRAID, VIAIDE.
5. EVERYTHING, CLOSE REGEDIT and reloaded again in Acronis LiveCD, you can rather rug a pagefile.sys, hiberfil.sys and other slag. I do a second track of a disk.tib
6. I put SSD with the new Windows in place, load, download the trial Acronis True Image and make a TIB conversion -\u003e VHD (in the LiveCD of this function for some reason it was not).
7. Downloading and installing the VirtualBox itself, EXTENSION PACK I also do not forget.
8. Create new one windows Machine 7 x64, as a carrier, I specify the resulting .VHD, beforei put a daw "System - Enable I / O APIC", I exhibit other parameters - CPU, RAM, LAN, etc.
9. I launch and glad, remembering the BSOD as a nightmare. Turtle speed, but everything is in place. Do not forget to put missing drivers.
10. Cherry on the cake: Devices - Connect the disk image of the Guest OS add-ons - install. This will allow the use of Drug "n" drop, buffer and other buns.

In this article we will look at the way to connect to our virtual Machine Additional hard disk. And also, we will work a little with sections in the management program dr. Acronis Disk Director Suite.

Here, in principle, one of the applications of the virtual machine, namely training on the creation of sections hard disks Without fear of data loss and harm for the main system. If we are spoiled something, then the data on the physical disk will remain unharmed. Therefore, work with VirtualBox is very useful for learning and testing :).

Well, I will proceed.

To connect an additional virtual disk, we need to first create it. To do this, launch a virtual machine manager. In the list we see our virtual machine with installed WinXP SP3.

Click " Tune" In the window that appears, go to the section " Carriers».

Opposite " Controller: IDE.»Click on plus card with a multiple disk. In the window that appears, click " Create a new disk»

After that, an already familiar disk creating a disk window opens.

Click the button " Hide details"In order to open all the settings. Strange translation of the button :)

Let's call our disk " WinXP SP3_HDD2."And save on a disk with (you can save to another place).

The size of the disk is fixed and allocated for Example 10GB. You can specify more. A type VDI. We click Create"And wait for completion.

After a successful creation, our disk will appear in the vehicle of information carriers of our car.

Now it would seem all. The disk is created. By downloading our Virtual Machine "WinXP SP3", it is set to install new equipment and in the device manager list, in the branch " disk devices "Another device appears.

But why doesn't another disk appear in the conductor? The thing is that the new virtual disk does not have format i.e. The disk is not marked and the system simply does not understand it. Previously, the same was with most physical disks. When buying a new disk and install it in system unitThe disk was not visible. Then the manufacturers began to mark the markup, as a rule it is FAT32. What is in this case to do? There are several ways:

1. With the help of DOS and the FDISK command - the old one, not comfortable.
2. Via boot disk - As a rule, on bootable CDs, there are present programs for working with HDD. The BIOS is made by the priority of loading with CD, etc. Suitable if the system is "Clea" i.e. You just purchased a disk or fully a computer on which while even the OS is not installed, so you can place the disc on the desired number of sections and their size.
3. There is a third way - it is to download one of the programs for working with disks (for example, Acronis Disk Director Suite), install and place it and format the disk using it.

In our case, we will choose 3 ways.

So, install acronis program Disk Director Suite (I set the program on a virtual machine!).

So, proceed to creating partitions and a task of the format.

For example, we will create two disk partitions and one of them will be combined with a C.

Baister!

Select our disk 2. Then in the menu click Disk -\u003e Creating sections

In the window that appears, enter the disk label "MyDisk1" (by default will " Local disk"). In point " Create as»Select the main partition. In point " Section size»We indicate 5GB, and" unoccupied space after"Will be designed automatically. File system NTFS.

We click OK"And we see that myDisk1 appeared, I have a letter G.

Similarly, we have done the action with the remaining part. Let's call it "MyDisk2", only the size will leave by default. All remaining. As a result, we will get the following:

But, we did not finish this. If you close the program now, the sections will never appear, we just planted so to say what we want to do.

Now you need to apply it. To do this, click on the button with the image of the checkbox in the "Shash."

We will be shown a window with deferred disk operations. We click Proceed"And we are waiting.

Upon successful completion, we will receive a message. Now in " My computer"We have two discs with MYDISK1 and MYDISK2 labels.

13.2 Data recovery on a virtual machine

As well as a physical disk, a virtual disk can be restored from its image
(File with extension.tib), pre-created using Acronis True Image
Echo Workstation.
If the virtual machine does not start, run tools on it
restore Acronis from the physical boot disk or from the RIS server, or
by adding the ISO image of the boot disk to the virtual machine. You can also create
a new virtual machine with the same configuration and the same disk size,
to restore data from the saved machine to this disk.
The recovery procedure is the same as with a physical machine. (For more information, see:

Another possible method Data Recovery VM - Reserve Conversion
copies of the disk (file with extension.tib) to the virtual disk of the corresponding format
and connect this file to VM. This is the easiest way to restore data on
virtual machine.

13.3 Using a disk conversion function

A virtual hard disk is a file in which the virtual data is stored.
cars. Various virtualization programs use their own
own formats and, accordingly, their types of files.
Acronis True Image Echo Workstation is able to convert a backup of the disk,
created by him (file with extension.tib), to the file virtual disk Togo
the format you select ( .vmdk, .vhd, .hdd). In this case, you can
just add this disc to a compatible type virtual machine ( VMware, MS.
virtual Machine, Parallels Virtual Machine, respectively). In the future disk
you can use as follows:

13.3.1 Data recovery on VM

In the event that only information is damaged or lost, and the VM itself is loaded and
works fine, make one of two:
Add a converted disk, no matter, systemic or not, to VM, copy

the desired data to the source disk, and then delete the converted disk,

or
Add a converted disk, no matter, systemic or not, to VM, and work

directly with the data stored on this disk.

13.3.2 Data recovery and VM

If the VM does not start, select one of the following options:
Add a converted system disk to VM and remove the damaged disk,
or
Create a new VM with converted system disk,
or
Add a disc to the pre-created clone VM (this will allow you to run the machine in

networks in a few seconds, because you do not have to re-configure
newly created VM).
