Also, any idea how long a merger of a 95GB AVHD and 17GB VHD would take?

Giving that process time to happen is important (vs. trying to somehow go around it) if possible.<br /><br />If you have no additional storage your options are truly limited. But I still cannot stress enough, allowing time to pass. Gaining enough time windows that you can get everything to safely happen.<br /><br />There are a few tricks that can also be done, but they all require some type of additional storage / space.<br />For example, if your source VM is pretty static. Then you can attach a differencing disk to the snapshot and read through as a new VM. I know I did not describe all of the details in that statement. Just planting the idea.<br /><br />BrianEhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946552115562772058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230024559279811901.post-54921982004634851162017-10-27T08:30:45.826-07:002017-10-27T08:30:45.826-07:00Hi Brian,
