Create VHD versions of physical disks with new Sysinternals utility

I have done copy and paste but I think that is not possible to lose this post for the content... read and think!

 

Backup, convert, flexibility and so on wow....

 

The Windows Sysinternals team as brought out a new utility, called Disk2vhd that creates VHD (Virtual Hard Disk - Microsoft’s Virtual Machine disk format) versions of physical disks for use in Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines. The cool thing about Disk2vhd is that you can run Disk2vhd on a system that’s online. Disk2vhd uses Windows’ Volume Snapshot capability, introduced in Windows XP, to create consistent point-in-time snapshots of the volumes you want to include in a conversion. You can even have Disk2vhd create the VHDs on local volumes, even ones being converted (though performance is better when the VHD is on a disk different than ones being converted).

 

Go to http://www.sysinternals.com and try it
