  BURLINGTON, MA, Jan 15 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Acronis, Inc. today announced that organizations running virtualization
software from
VMware can now convert physical systems into virtual machines for backup and
recovery using VMware Converter and the Acronis(R)  True Image Echo family of
disk imaging and backup software.

    Support in VMware environments for Acronis True Image files means the system
migration effort is simplified because existing Acronis image files can be
easily converted directly into a virtual machine. Acronis True Image 9.x image
(.TIB) files are supported by VMware Converter, which converts Microsoft
Windows-based physical machines and third-party image formats to VMware virtual
machines. It also converts virtual machines between VMware platforms.

    "Our relationship with VMware continues to benefit our mutual customers,"
said Walter
Scott, CEO of Acronis. "When it comes to backup and restoration of their
systems, IT
managers do not want to think about what is physical and what is virtual. They
just want to protect and migrate their data seamlessly between the two, which
is enabled by Acronis True Image and VMware Converter."
