I'm doing a fresh install of Windows and I need to make a copy of all files in my system drive so I can restore them later.
I want to clone entire drive with dd tool (I'm going to use clonezilla). Then I'm going to install fresh copy of Windows 10 and restore selected files from cloned image.
My questions are
List of steps I ended up doing:
guymager tool installed. Use guymager tool to acquire raw image of your system disk. It's much safer and usually faster than using dd by hand.vhdtool.exe and vhdxtool.exe.Firstly, convert raw image to VHD format.
.\vhdtool.exe /convert G:\image-2017-12-29.dd
Also, change its extension, because vhdtool.exe is not going to do it for you.
Rename-Item G:\image-2017-12-29.dd G:\image-2017-12-29.vhd
Convert VHD image to VHDX format.
.\vhdxtool.exe upgrade -f G:\image-2017-12-29.vhd
You now have VHDX image file that you can mount on your system and then open it with VeraCrypt.
I have even managed to boot my cloned VHD (not VHDX though) disk in VirtualBox inside the original system.
