Mac [Sierra] recover Bootcamp [Windows 10] through VHD

@Loner T, when I restore using the Windows generated image I get a "the system image restore failed" about 95% of the way through the restore process. Using the repair tools of Windows no longer helps, I read some places where this is an issue with having other USB devices attached but in my case that is not the issue.

So this basically leaves me with the Windows generated image which has the VHD, which appears to be intact with all the data, but a Bootcamp system that is not booting.

It's all on the same Mac, I have lots of applications installed which is why I'm looking for a process to restore the VHD to get Windows in the same state as it was before.

@Loner T, I do have a recent File History which I did before I took a backup with Windows Backup.

I did a new install of Windows 10 Pro, keep the partitions as is, installed Windows using Drive 0 Partition 4. So at this point I have a new Bootcamp partition and Windows and can boot to it just fine.

Like you said at this point I need a utility that can take the contents of the VHD (from the Windows backup) and move it over to the new install C drive.

The problem with those Windows utilities is that you have to be in Windows to run them which I don't think will work because some of the files will be locked and it won't work.

Can't I just boot into something like an Ubuntu (using live USB) and mount the VHD and the Windows Bootcamp partition. Delete all the files of the Windows Bootcamp partition and then use rsync to copy contents of the VHD to the Bootcamp partition ? Or am I way off here in my logic ?

@Loner T,

Holy crap, I've done it, lol, thanks for the moral support. I somehow was right on track with my logic. The system all 130 Gigs of it is back to it's pristine condition at the time of the image, with applications and data intact almost like magic. I took the vhd and used dd to transfer it's contents on to the bootcamp partition.
