Convert TIBx to TIB UPD
What it is
- TIBx — a hypothetical or legacy Tableau/BI package file format (assumed: "TIBx" stands for an older packaged data/report file).
- TIB UPD — a newer update/patch/package format used by the same system (assumed: "TIB UPD" stands for an update package format).
- Compare fields and paths in TIBx manifest to the TIB UPD manifest schema.
- Produce a mapping table: old_field → new_field, old_path → new_path.
Acronis has evolved its backup file formats over the years, moving from the classic .TIB (legacy full/incremental), to .TIBX (modern container format), and finally to the .TIB UPD (Unified Protection Data) format used in the latest software versions.

The Hard Truth: No Direct Conversion Exists
