    Hello,
    Been trying to resolve this for a few days with no success. Here's the short story:
    - I worked on Windows 7 desktop machine in an office;
    - I worked on iMac machine at home;
    Just moved country (actually continent) and took a 1) Windows image backup of my office machine and 2) back up of my iMac - both on separate external hard drives. Got a new iMac in the new home and managed to restore my 2) back up of the home iMac. Also got installed Parallels and created a Windows 7 virtual machine. But I am struggling to restore the 1) Windows image back of my office machine onto the virtual machine on the iMac.
    Is this even possible? Any reading materials that can help me out? Basically, I want my Windows image backup on the virtual machine on the iMac. That way I have the iMac and some essential Windows 7 stuff I had on the desktop machine in my office.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hi Hristo. Please explain what sort of backup this is exactly (e.g., Acronis?).

    It is a back up from the Backup and Restore application that goes with the Windows system.
