You built this perfect VHD and you decide to call it parent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now life needs to go on and changes need to be introduced to your disk but you want to be able to revert back to your parent\u00a0<\/strong>if needed.
\nOr else, at some point you decide that changes introduced since your last parent\u00a0<\/strong>needs to be merged in your master.<\/p>\n

In order to achieve the above (revert<\/span> or merge<\/span>) we will create a second VHD called child<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Lets see how to do it with CloneDisk <\/a>(5 actions\/steps)<\/p>\n

1-Create\/attach our\u00a0parent<\/p>\n

\"diff_vhd1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2-Create a file named\u00a0parent.txt on the new logical drive<\/p>\n

3-Detach it<\/p>\n

At this point you should no longer introduce changes in your parent VHD until you decide to revert or merge<\/p>\n

4-Create\/attach our child but this time we will indicate which one is a parent (created in step 1)<\/p>\n

You will get again a new logical drive and\u00a0parent.txt will already be here.<\/p>\n

\"diff_vhd2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5-Create a file named child.txt<\/p>\n

That change will \u00ab\u00a0only\u00a0\u00bb be applied in child.vhd, not parent.vhd.<\/p>\n

Now you can either merge it or revert it (i.e delete it) whenever you feel like it.<\/p>\n
