Convert TIB to VHD

Understanding TIB and VHD file formats

TIB is a file format used by Acronis True Image software to store disk images. These images are backups of entire disks or partitions, allowing users to restore their systems to a previous state in case of data loss or system failure. TIB files are essential for data recovery and system backup purposes.

VHD, or Virtual Hard Disk, is a file format used by Microsoft for virtual machines. It acts as a virtual hard drive, storing the complete contents of a hard disk. VHD files are commonly used in virtualization environments, allowing users to run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine.
