You can imagine that you do your backups with Acronis on regular basics and so you can use this virtual disk in VMware ESX Server or WMware Workstation.
Here is how-to convert your Acronis Image (.tib):

2.) Choose your image file (usually stored on external USB drive) and click on Next.
3.) Choose the format for your disk. You can choose from different formats of Virtual Disks (VMware Server, Microsoft Virtual PC, XenServer or Parallels).
4.) Choose the destination of the conversion file. In my exemple I choosed my USB drive and I choosed to convert into VMware ESX type of file.
