Reading VMWare and Hyper-V Disk Files

libguestfs-tools-c, which was installed when I set up the Linux VM server, can mount VMWare and Hyper-V disks.

[root@server /data/Virtual Machines/_Backup/VMWare/Win - Copy/]# guestmount -a WinHardDisk.vhd -m /dev/sda1 --ro /mnt/vhdx/
[root@server /data/Virtual Machines/_Backup/VMWare/Win - Copy/]# ls /mnt/vhdx/

[root@server /data/Virtual Machines/_Backup/VMWare/Win - Copy/]# umount /mnt/vhdx
