<div>
Thanks Andrew, however I don't want to convert all volumes this syntax only permits to convert everything. <br />
My total volumes are too large to copy everything over.
</div>


<div>
I'm afraid that's beyond the function of Disk2VHD, and most tools are interactive.<br />
<br />
I would look at backup and restore tools, e.g. Windows backup or Veeam Free Agent.
</div>


<div>
Thanks you. <br />
Veeam free agent however does not backup to VHDX.
</div>


<div>
No it does not, but it will give you a backup to restore and fetch files from.<br />
<br />
Why do you want a VDHX ?
</div>


<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I would like to automate Disk2VHD using a script, perhaps Powershell or Batch, or VBS.<br />
Is this possible?<br />
I would like to automate this so that it saves that latest copy of my computer every night.

Automate Disk2VHD

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

VB Script

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
