I have a server2003 backup file in VHD form and need to access the files within this backup from a windows 10 workstation. If I install the drive into the win10 machine it shows correctly under "Computer Management" but if I try to right click and explore I get an error "Access is Denied". Is there a work around for this ?

Trying to open a VHD file from a different machine.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
