Convert a VirtualBox VDI or VHD Image to a Physical Disk Resulting in fully installed Linux or Windows systems booted from an external USB device, instead of VirtualBox. Those once virtual machines containing full operating systems can then be booted and run natively from an external USB drive. This is extremely useful for situations when you would like to clone your VirtualBox Machine onto a real device and run them as real systems. The following covers the process of turning VirtualBox "VHD" ( Virtual Hard Disk) Images or "VDI" ( Virtual Disk) Images into Bootable Physical Disks. How to Convert a Virtual Machine VHD VDI into a Bootable USB.

For example, if you choose to restore 2 computer disks, Veeam Backup & Replication will convert them to 2 virtual disks and store these disks in the specified location. Veeam Backup & Replication supports batch disk restore.

Disks restored to a datastore are saved in the thin provisioned format.VMDK disks can be restored as thin provision and thick disks:

You can save converted disks locally on any server added to the backup infrastructure or place disks on a datastore connected to an ESXi host (for VMDK disk format only).
