| Use Case | Benefit | |----------|---------| | | Run an Acronis backup as a VM without Acronis software. | | Bootable Testing | Create a bootable ISO of a system backup for hardware testing. | | Cross-Platform Recovery | Use Linux or macOS recovery tools (which often read ISO, not TIBX). | | Burning to Optical Media | Archive a backup to a physical Blu-ray disc in ISO format. | | Cloud Upload | Some cloud platforms accept ISO for VM imports (e.g., AWS, Azure). |
