Hi,

is there ANY way i can automaticle clone my Windows 10 PC to a .img and upload it to the unraid server?

 

Or Sync files from C:\ to c:\?

 

 

See the Wiki for instructions.

I dont think that helps me in any way.

 

Perfect would be.

 

I shutdown my windows 10 PC. It sync with Windows 10 VM and then shutdown.

Currently i just have chrome synced, which, lets say cover 90% of what i want to do with it.

I found something PRETTY COOL.

 

This tool let you make images while you in windows, its free and it can run via cmd.

So i guess, i could write a batch file which i run on every shutdown (or every X min) to create a image.

        C:\> SNAPSHOT C:   X:\C-Drive.sna

 

BUT

 

How do i get it in the VM? (sadly, its not .img)

 

I would need to shutdown the VM automatic (how?)

 

Then i need to boot something like DOS (or a docker????) [i found https://github.com/jgoerzen/docker-dosemu which is a DOS in a docker]  which imports the image and then starts Windows 10 VM.

 

Has anyone any idea how to do this?

 

1.) How can i automatic disable/enable a VM?

2.) can dos mount the image and then do the incr restore?!

I thought about this, i think its possible with user scripts plugin...

 

1. Shutdown Windows 10, let a task run which does a incre. backup and send it to //unraidserver/Windows 10 VM/

        C:\> SNAPSHOT C:   X:\C-Drive.sna

 

2. script turns off Windows 10 VM

-Need to write script via user script plugin which detects when a new backup is there (maybe check every 5 min?)

-Then stops Windows 10 VM

3. script startet DOS (z.B.), öffnet Windows 10 VM image, spielt image ein

-user script starting e.g. DOS, mount .img (Windows 10 VM Image) and uses drive snapshot to restore the backup created in 1.)

4. script startet windows 10 VM

- user script plugin needs to start Windows 10 VM (and maybe delete old backup - not sure by now)

Have you considered using this VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 6.2 to make a virtual image of the pc and then convert that?

 

Or Disk2VHD from Microsoft.

No, Why?

 

I dont see any difference, or can the windows one make .imgs  without any convert?

Ill try the Vmware one.

Unless you use the linux method then I think most things will need a convert, just thought this might be easier than trying the restore each time.

nuhll did you get this working?

yeah what happend here?
