I please you help. Recently my guest OS Windows 8.1 was crashed and i install windows 10. Before crashing i haven't time to make backup on the virtual machine and its snapshots. But sources of virtual
machines and snapshots( .vbox and .vdi files ) are kept as you can see on the pic1.png ( sorry for Russian in that screen ). For restoring Virtual Machines from old source file:
- 1. I created virtual machine with a same name like old one and used its appropriate existing .vdi disk (pic 2)
- 2. I closed the virtualBox and added snapshots from Snapshot folder
D:\Users\Dima\VirtualBox VMs\Linux mint Cinnamon\Snapshots
toC:\Users\Дмитрий\VirtualBox VMs\Linux mint Cinnamon\Snapshots
- 3. I replaced the created files
C:\Users\Дмитрий\VirtualBox VMs\Linux mint Cinnamon\Linux mint Cinnamon.vbox and C:\Users\Дмитрий\VirtualBox VMs\Linux mint Cinnamon\Linux mint Cinnamon.vbox-prev
toCinnamon.vbox
andCinnamon.vbox-prev
from folder of old virtual machineD:\Users\Dima\VirtualBox VMs\Linux mint Cinnamon
- 4. I entered in the config file
D:\Users\Dima\.VirtualBox\VirtualBox.xml
, finded there following tag:
and replaced uuid value to MachineEntry tag with suitable src( in my case src to new machine isCode: Select all
<MachineRegistry> <MachineEntry uuid="{6b58343e-6fa3-4461-8e3b-648a334008de}" src="D:\Users\Dima\VirtualBox VMs\Linux mint Cinnamon\Linux mint Cinnamon.vbox"/> </MachineRegistry>
C:\Users\Дмитрий\VirtualBox VMs\Linux Mint Cinnamon\Linux Mint Cinnamon.vbox
orC:\Users\Дмитрий\VirtualBox VMs\Linux Mint Cinnamon\Linux Mint Cinnamon.vbox
)
- 5. I moved the file
VirtualBox.xml-prev
from folderC:\Users\Дмитрий\.VirtualBox
to another folder sо that VirtualBox couldn't erase the changes in its config file
- 6. After that i runned VirtualBox and select last Snapshot and i pressed Run( pic 3 )
Here is full log while attempting the run virtual machine from last shapshot:
Therefore i have the questions. What i done wrong ? What i specifically missed out in the restoring the old virtual machine on thee new VirtualBox ? Can i restore virtual machine without backups ? If i can, so how to do this ??01:49:13.368507 ERROR [COM]: aRC=VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb0001) aIID={edba9d10-45d8-b440-1712-46ac0c9bc4c5} aComponent={ExtPackManagerWrap} aText={No extension pack
