Experience data independence with love, from us to you. 
This repository provides a comprehensive guide to the format and layout of Macrium Reflect Image, as well as File and Folder backup files. Our aim is to enable our customers to access their data independently, without the need for proprietary software tools.
We have included a Visual Studio 2022 solution and CMakeLists.txt files, which are used for managing the build process of software using CMake. The package includes libraries and an executable, img_to_vhdx.exe, that enables the restoration of any Macrium Reflect X Image or File and Folder backup file to a dynamically created and mounted VHDX file. All source code is licensed under the MIT License, ensuring that the tools and code needed are always freely available.
We've also provided a pre-built demo of img_to_vhdx.exe, bundled with a Reflect X image file and a batch file named demo.bat. To get started, extract the img_to_vhdx.zip file to any directory of your choice and execute demo.bat. On completion, a new VHDX file will be generated and automatically mounted, granting you full access to the data contained in the image file.
