Abstract
A computer implemented method includes creating a child disk for a machine. A configuration of a backed up disk drive is derived from a storage container that includes a block level backup copy of the disk drive. The child disk is populated with selected data from blocks of data corresponding to selected files desired to be used on the machine. Drivers may be injected and registries modified to start with booting of the virtual.
