All consistent and live, using VSS, similar to Disk2VHD, but the difference is it actually works, and there are many additional features and options that you need for production environments:īackupChain is hence the best alternative for Disk2VHD on Windows, Hyper-V, VMware, and VirtualBox because it can create VDI, VMDK as well as VHD and VHDX files and you can perform these conversions on production servers without downtime. The trick with BackupChain is that is uses disk image backup to convert a disks from physical to virtual, vice versa, and between virtual formats. However, there is a P2V conversion software that also works with VHD, VHDX, VMDK (VMware ESX, Player, Workstation), and VDI (VirtualBox) files, supports older XP, Windows Server 2003 as well as the newest Windows Server 2019, and also offers V2P and V2V conversions for free. There is a simple reason for that: it’s not meant to be a production software solution it’s just a little tool to play with and not supported by Microsoft for obvious reasons. You have probably tried Disk2VHD and didn’t get far with it.
