VMware workstation

hi all,just installed VMware workstation 7 on my xp box, and need some help.
if i install xp on vmware then install shadowprotect can i load
a shadowprotect image i have on an external hardrive to this vm,thanks

 

I believe that one can convert ShadowProtect images (SPF) to VMware virtual drives (VMDK) and then mount them in VMs. I've never done it, though. I don't know whether ShadowProtect will run inside VMs, and mount images as drives. It might be worth a try.

 

thanks for the reply.just going to use clean xp installs to mess about with now.

 

Hi Stoneman,

Yes, ShadowProtect v4 can convert disk images to virtual disk (.vhd or .vmdk).

Chapter 9 / page 57 of the ShadowProtect v4 User Guide explains how to do it ( http://www.storagecraft.co.uk/fileadmin/documents/products/1004_ShadowProtect_4.0_User_Guide.pdf )
