This will open a list of programs that you have installed. To install viBoot on an existing Macrium Reflect installation, open the Windows Control Panel then select ‘Programs’. Once Hyper-V has been enabled, you can now add viBoot to your Macrium Reflect installation, if you did not install it during your initial setup. Note: viBoot only supports Microsoft Hyper-V running on a minimum of Windows 8.0 or Windows Server 2012. The article linked below contains details of how to enable this feature if you haven’t done so already: To use viBoot, you will need to have the Hyper-V feature enabled in Windows. However, this location can be configured in the Macrium viBoot UI. The default location for these two VHDX files is C:\ProgramData\Macrium\viBoot. This disk size can rapidly increase depending on the usage of the virtual machine. The second VHDX file is a differencing disk that will receive any modifications made during the lifetime of the virtual machine.Since the data is not actually stored in this VHDX file, the size will remain small. The data for the disk is retrieved from the relevant Macrium Image File by the Macrium Virtual Disk Provider filter driver as required. The first disk that is created contains the relevant information to describe the disk layout and signature to mark it as a viBoot VHDX.This is done by creating two Microsoft Virtual Hard Disk (VHDX) files for each disk that is described in the selected Macrium Image File: In the final blog post in this series, we will be discussing Macrium Reflect’s tool, viBoot, and how it can be used to almost instantly create a Hyper-V virtual machine using a backup image. We have also discussed some of the advantages of doing this: centralised management, lower power consumption, scalability and in some cases, improved resilience.
