Remove System Restore Checkpoints

When you convert source machines running Windows XP or later, you can remove all System Restore

checkpoints so that the conversion process is faster.

System Restore is enabled on Windows Vista and Windows XP systems by default. For Windows Vista, if you

are performing volume-based file-level cloning, System Restore checkpoints are automatically removed from

the destination virtual machine, regardless of whether the Remove System Restore checkpoints on

destination check box is selected or deselected. If you are performing disk-based cloning or volume-based

block-level cloning, deselecting the check box instructs Converter Standalone to keep the System Restore check

points in the destination virtual machine.

Removing all System Restore checkpoints prevents the target machine from reverting to a preconversion state.

Restoring a checkpoint in the target virtual machine that was created before you cloned the source machine

can damage the system and prevent the destination virtual machine from starting up.

Prerequisites

On the Options page of the Conversion wizard, click Advanced options.

Procedure

1 Select the Remove System Restore checkpoints on destination check box.

2 Save your settings.

Option Description

Select another option from the

options list

The Customizations page is displayed if you select Customize guest

preferences for the virtual machine in the Advanced options pane.

The Summary page is displayed if you do not select Customize guest

preferences for the virtual machine in the Advanced options pane.

Configure the Conversion Task

You can configure the conversion process and select the behavior of the source and destination machine during

and after conversion. You can change the status of the source and destination services only when the source

machine is running a Windows operating system.

Set the Startup Mode for Destination Services on page 68

To minimize downtime for a Windows service, you can select the service and have it start automatically

on the destination virtual machine. You can also prevent Windows services from automatically starting

on the destination machine.

Stop Services Running on the Source Machine on page 69

You can make sure that you do not lose data from services running on the source machine. You can select

the services that you want to stop before Converter Standalone synchronizes the data between the source

and destination machine. As a result, the services do not generate data while source and destination

machines are synchronized.

Synchronize the Destination Machine with Changes Made to the Source Machine on page 70

When you convert a powered-on Windows machine, Converter Standalone copies data from the source

machine to the destination machine while the source machine is still running and generating changes.

This process is the first transfer of data. You can transfer data for the second time by copying only the

changes made during the first transfer of data. This process is called synchronization.
