Data Lost due to Windows Crash
Posted: 27. May 2013, 23:33
Hi All,
I had a windows crash and after the reboot of the system I got a message:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine" "No error info"
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Component: ProgressProxy Interface: IProgress {c20238e4-3221-4d3f-8891-81ce92d9f913}
So after some digging I found this:
VirtualBox VM 4.2.12 r84980 win.amd64 (Apr 12 2013 11:35:06) release log
00:00:02.801291 Log opened 2013-05-27T17:19:59.853814800Z

00:00:02.840038 Power up failed (vrc=VINF_SUCCESS, rc=E_FAIL (0X80004005))
After googling I found this hint on bradley beddoes blog (sorry I cannot post the link due to forum policies). The suggestion was:
Using File > Virtual Media Manager – Delete reference to the failed hard drive located on your NAS.
In the settings for your VM remove the failed disk
Click on sata and the little ‘Add HDD’ icon to the right – you can now select your remote disk image
Restart – all is well.
Following the instructions I got again a working machine but the hard drive went back to 1 month ago, in few words I lost the data of the last month! It was like if it was snapshooted to one month ago
So the problem is that I would like to know if there is a way to "go back" to the state of today or if I missed the data since last month.
Regards
