MACRIUM REFLECT mrimg to VM?

[Maruco 0]

Hello,

 

we have our backups done mainly through Macrium Reflect cloning software and all images are in .mrimg file.

 

Anyone knows the fastest procedure to mount those images as VM?

 

Ideally, we would be able to just boot from those images directly - something that MacriumViBoot is able to do through Hyper-V. 

 

What would the options be?

 

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried to use http://kb.macrium.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50005.aspx?Keywords=VHD and then convert the VHD to IMG with something like

qemu-img convert -f vpc -O raw lamp-3-x86.vhd lamp.raw ?

Hello,

 

the issue here is that any Macrium v.7+ has this option disabled, for some reason. You can not convert images anymore.

I realized, for now, the only way I was able to do it is to actually clone the .mrimg to an SSD, boot from it and then make a .iso file from within it. 

This is a lot of hassle...
