Windows Image Backup - renamed folder now restore cannot find any backups
- by Schneider
A while back I decide to create a couple of Windows Image Backups of my workstation at various points during installation from clean.
While doing this I decided to rename the folders containing the VHDs from 'Backup <Date>' to something else of my choosing.
I didn't bother testing at the time that the restore still worked.
Now I come to use these backups for doing a bare metal restore to a different computer.
The problem is restore cannot 'see' any of the backups.
So I have deduced that maybe I need to rename them back to the 'Backup <Date>' pattern unfortunately I cannot determine the exact values that would have originally been used here. I have tried by best guest but the images still cannot be found. I have tried doing both a network and a usb hdd restore. No luck on either.
P.S. I know I can retrieve files from within the VHDs, the problem is I am trying to save myself time of reinstalling lots of big applications... not trying to recover data.
