Local Backup and Local Restore

You must perform a full backup of your physical machine to the local tape and create a machine specific recovery disk (MSD). Use the bootable CD or the installation CD and the floppy disk to restore the backup data from the backup tape to the virtual machine using the similar method you use to restore to the physical machine.

Note: Microsoft Hyper-V VM can boot from the first IDE disk only, so you must configure the VM properly to ensure that the system disk is restored to the first IDE disk.
