- File formats TIB and VHD are similar and we can convert from the format TIB to VHD. After performing this operation, we can use the programs that support file VHD. Perhaps after the conversion, it will be easier for us to perform the intended activities. Below is a list of programs that will convert the file TIB to VHD.
- If I select a Disk.tib backup of my Win 10 SSD created by ATI 2020, then the Convert to VHD will create a new.VHDX file which I am then able to open by double-clicking in Explorer. See forum topic: How to create a Disk backup as.tib (not.tibx) which will create a new backup task using the older.tib format in the Windows ATI 2020 GUI.
I am going to describe a quick way to convert Symantec’s Ghost GHO file to Microsoft Virtual Hard Drive VHD file. The process will not require a setup of a virtual machine. You’ll need:
Convert Acronis backup to Windows backup Use the feature to convert a backup file format from tib to vhd. The vhd files can be used, for example, in Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems for mounting disk images without using Acronis True Image Home 2011. Convert Windows backup to.
- The VHDMount utility, which is distributed as a part of Microsoft Virtual Server but can be installed seperately.
- The GHOST32 utility, which is a part of Symantec Ghost installation.
Prepare an empty VHD file
Use Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server to create a new VHD file of desired size and form (fixed size or dynamically expanding). To get you started, I’ve prepared 130GB dynamically expanding new VHD file, you can download here.
I wrote another post about handling the VHD files, you can read here.
Install VHDMount utility
Tib To Vmdk
Download Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 or newer and run the setup. You can select to install the VHDMount utility only. I suggest a restart after the install.

Mount empty VHD file as local drive
Using VHDMount utility you can mount VHD file as a local hard drive. Execute:
vhdmount /p /f image.vhd
You should receive a “The Virtual Hard Disk is successfully plugged in as a virtual disk device.” response, followed by a series of “New hardware found” messages.
Copy GHO to VHD file
Acronis Convert Tib To Vhd
Run GHOST32 utility, which can be found in the directory where you’ve installed Symantec Ghost. Using the GHOST32 utility, you can restore GHO image file to any of the local drives (Local › Disk › From Image). Make sure you choose the destination disk drive that represents the mounted VHD file, as you can easily overwrite any other local disk drive. Use GDISK32 utility to determine first which one is “MS Virtual Server” drive if uncertain.
Once transfer is complete you can safely choose not to restart the computer and just exit the GHOST32. Unmouting the VHD file is sufficient.
Unmount the VHD file
Use VHDMount utility once again to unmount the VHD file. Execute:
vhdmount /u image.vhd
It often happens that in spite of the appropriate software to support the file type, we cannot cope with it. File formats TIB and VHD are similar and we can convert from the format TIB to VHD. After performing this operation, we can use the programs that support file VHD. Perhaps after the conversion, it will be easier for us to perform the intended activities.
Below is a list of programs that will convert the file TIB to VHD.
In the following part of the article you will find additional information. Read it before you start the conversion process, you may find a simpler way to solve your problem.

Attention!
Always check whether the applications that support the TIB file as default do not have built-in ways to save the data in a different format, such as VHD. This situation often occurs and there is no need to download special software then.
