I'd like to have a problem.
Accidentally my whole system broke down due to a memory problem.
But I could restore all snapshots from my vm.
I checked with
Code: Select all
VBoxManage internalcommands dumphdinfo file
Unfortunately it is not that easy to set up a running vm, if there is no corresponding VirtualBox.xml available.
I tried a lot of things including
Code: Select all
VBoxManage clonehd myold.vmdk new.vmdk
to create a new vm from an excisting hd using the vb manager.
All trials ended with a "NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)"
Is there any chance to generate or manipulate the "VirtualBox.xml" file in a way that "clonehd" does not end like that:Parent medium with UUID {258573e4-bf31-40b6-9d4a-814bf9a8c9e3} of the medium '/home/me/VirtualBox VMs/Win7_64/Snapshots/{f8cfa697-2ff2-40a4-95ec-f80d1742750b}.vmdk' is not found in the media registry ('/home/me/.config/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml').
Code: Select all
A1:~/VirtualBox VMs/Win7_64/Snapshots$ vboxmanage clonehd {f8cfa697-2ff2-40a4-95ec-f80d1742750b}.vmdk Win10_64.vdmk
