Redifferencing multiple checkpoint-avhdx'es agains the root vhdx instead of an intermediate avhdx

  • 772

I'm currently in this situation of differentiating avdhx-files where A1, A2, B and C represents the actual checkpoints I'm using.

enter image description here

I would like to convert A1 and A2 into differentials directly against master.vhdx like B and C are, removing the dependency to A.

Is this possible?

  1. Make a copy of A and A1. Call them D and D1. (If you're using ReFS, this copy won't actually need to replicate the data.) Then use the Merge-VHD PowerShell cmdlet (or any other method) to merge D1 into D. (Again, if you're using ReFS, this won't actually move any data.) D is now the VHD that you want from A1. Replicate the process for A2.
