Hi,

I want to know a solution:

I had have installed on testworkstation

on physicaldisk 0:

partition 0 C:  Windows Server 2012

parition 1 D: Windows 7

than I made a "backup" with disk2vhd only for partition 1/drive D:

After a coupe of month I want to restore the backup only to partition 1/drive D:

I tried vhd2disk but this tool seems to be only for physical disks and would overwrite also partition c.

Is there a tool like vhd2partition?

Or have I to use vhd mount and robocopy with acls?

Thanks in advance

Hi Thoma,

Based on my research, the most convenient way is mounting the VHD and copying the data as you mentioned.

If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

VHD is the direct HDD partition for WIndows. You can attach this VHD direct via Disk management. 

like this. 

1) 

2)

Click to 'Attach VHD' then select your VHD to attach as a partition.

thanks for explanation == "vhd Mount"
this way is known,

but how should I copy the ACLs?

Are there better tools as robocopy for this purpose?

Do you mean that you want to copy VHD with the permissions of old place?

If yes maybe this link will help you: https://ye110wbeard.wordpress.com/2012/02/20/ensuring-your-vhd-file-has-proper-ntfs-permissions-with-powershell/
