Hi There,
I've just starting tinkering with wbadmin.exe and the system imaging system. So far I've been able to get backups running on a schedule and I've managed to create different restore points using the in-built differential system. I've also had a test "bare metal" restore onto a blank HDD and this worked well.
The one part I'm struggling with is figuring out how to manipulate the backup images - specifically in performing partial restores. I've been able to mount the vhd/x file from the backup using diskpart and view the files on the latest backup but how do I go about restoring from one of the older system images? Say I discover that a file corrupted 2 days ago and I want to restore it one of the earlier differentials, how would I get the older copy of the file? Would I have to do a full restore of the whole system image to another disk?
Cheers,
Olly
