By setting up regular conversion, you obtain a copy of your server or workstation on a virtual machine
which can be readily powered on in case the original machine fails. The conversion can be performed
by the same agent that performs the backup or by an agent installed on another machine. If the latter
is the case, you need to store the archive in a shared location, such as a network folder or a managed
vault, so that the other machine can access the archive.
When to convert (p. 135)
[Optional] Specify whether to convert every full, every incremental or every differential
backup or convert the last created backup on schedule. Specify the conversion schedule if
required.
Host (p. 136)
Specify the machine that will perform the conversion. The machine has to have Acronis
Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows, Agent for ESX/ESXi or Agent for Hyper-V installed.
