The best way to check a backup is to restore image to a virtual hard drive and make a native boot entry for it. The vhd maximum size must be less than free space on drive containing vhd (I recommend...

I was joking.

When will MS Dev Team understand (i.e. get it through their dense grey matter) that most of us are not arty farty people who freeform with fancy pen and ink devices.
