Restoring Data from VDI Snapshots if the main vdi image is lost? I only want the data which was stored in the snapshot it is actually NOT inside the lost vdi image


See viewtopic.php?f=5&t=44679 for reference

Not possible. A snapshot chain is not a series of independant filesystems which can be independantly restored, it's a single interdependant filesystem in several pieces. Like a house of cards, lose any of the pieces and the whole structure falls apart. The only fix is to restore from a backup.
