R1Soft Releases Free Tool, Adds "Right-Click Mount" to Windows Explorer for Hyper-V VHD Files

 

(vmblog.com) - R1Soft, developer of Continuous Data Protection® for Windows and Linux, announced today the release of its newest free tool, R1Soft Hyper-V VHD Explorer, which allows users to mount and attach Hyper-V Virtual Hard Disk (.VHD) files with a simple point-and-click.

R1Soft Hyper-V VHD Explorer adds right-click Windows Explorer shell integration for mounting and attaching Hyper-V VHD files. While mounting VHD files could traditionally be done with PowerShell scripts, the new R1Soft VHD Explorer makes it possible to attach VHD files with unmatched ease. Users can simply manage all of their mounted VHD files from the VHD Explorer graphical user interface.

The utility helps administrators modify and troubleshoot Hyper-V Virtual Machine hard disks without having to boot the virtual machine. The VHD Explorer utility also offers users the capability to open restored VHD files and copy out individual files for data restoration. The R1Soft VHD Explorer shell integration works by adding right-click “attach” and “detach” actions to VHD files in MS Windows Explorer.
