VHDX-toolbox-from-batch

Create, expand, compacting, differencing and merge VHDX (Virtual Hard Disk v2) files with one click.

For existing VHDX file:
You can create, expand, and compacting it direcly.
You can differencing/merge them as long as it meets the following rules:

1. Within the differencing chain:

<vhdName>_v0.vhdx → <vhdName>_v1.vhdx → ... → <vhdName>_vN.vhdx → <vhdName>.vhdx (current)

2. Out of the differencing chain:

<vhdName>_v0_archived.vhdx → ... → <vhdName>_vM_archived.vhdx →
[ <vhdName>_v{M+1}.vhdx → ... → <vhdName>_vN.vhdx → <vhdName>.vhdx (active chain) ]

Notes

A fully merge operation on above sisuation will reserve the <vhdName>_v{M+1}.vhdx file and rename it to <vhdName>_v{M+1}_archived.vhdx.
