Virtualbox snapshot pro#
The catch is that you would have to switch from VirtualBox to Hyper-V, which is only available on the Pro versions of Windows 8 and above, although it's also usually a lot faster than other virtualization platforms since it's a Type 1 hypervisor, whereas everything else on Windows is necessarily a Type 2 hypervisor. Alternatively, users on Reflect V7 could use Macrium's own viBoot technology, which is explicitly designed for this purpose and would be much faster since you wouldn't even have to perform a restore into a VM at all, never mind running ReDeploy instead, you can just boot the Reflect image directly. You could also create the VM with its virtual disk first, boot the VM into Rescue Media using the Rescue ISO, and then just run the restore and ReDeploy in the same "session". As I understand it, the steps would be: 1) Create a virtual disk on another machine 2) Restore the backup image to it 3) Run redeploy on it 4) Create a virtual machine using that virtual disk (I'm using VirtualBox) 5) Cross my fingers and boot up the VM BTW, I'm on Reflect v7 In my case, there was a major malfunction of the motherboard of the machine Win 10 was running on.
Virtualbox snapshot full#
I have a full backup of a Windows 10 machine that I want to virtualize and have been reading through posts here and the documentation to familiarize myself with the process. If it help to know, I prefer restoring images to a virtual machine.Ĭurious as to what the originator of this thread ended up doing and how it worked. What method of the two is more likely to be most efficient, or faster, or less likely to give problems?Īs you are restoring an image to a virtual disk in both cases it would take roughly the same amount of time to complete and should not cause problems using either option. Yup, got it, I realise there are two approaches but my original question stands. You may restore your image to VHD as described in this article: Alternatively you can create a vm guest, boot into a rescue media ISO, perform a restore and then run ReDeploy. Since I am working with about 2TB of disk usage, I want to get this right. But I am unclear as to the best practice to create the bootable Virtual Machine? Should I a) use "Macrium ReDeploy" or b) Convert the "images" to VHD's and then boot the VM from the VHD. I am of course using Reflect to create "images" of the drives of the physical machine on the recommended backup schedule to an external disk. This snapshot will then be archived on a USB disk. We are creating a process such that we want to have a bootable VirtualBox snapshot of a physical machine at the end of development cycle.
