Xopero Image Tool is the newest application in Xopero recovery toolbox. It is used to convert between multiple hard drive image formats – from RAW to VHD, VHDX or VMDK and back. Thanks to such conversion it is possible to move your physical machine to any virtual environment such as Hyper-V, VMware or VirtualBox.
You can access the Xopero Image Tool either from CMD (Windows) or run directly from the terminal (Linux and OSX).
Why you need it
- To restore your physical machine as a Hyper-V/VMware or VirtualBox virtual machine – now you can restore your VM on Windows operating system.
- To transfer the VM’s hdd image from another Hyper-V/VMware or VirtualBox virtualizer – this is a universal solution, so it allows to easily move virtual machine to other virtualizer, no matter if you use Windows, Linux or OSX operating system.
- To mount the image in the file system – this way you can easily restore any file from the image backup without restoring this machine first.
- To reset registry entries: it can solve technical problems when rebooting the machine, so you can use it to fix bug problems too.
