I have my exam that I must submit. Uploading certain files wouldn't work within my CentOS environment, so I am forced to save a snapshot.

I have both snapshot files ( 1 containing the differential writes from the original .vdi file , the other with no writes due to me making a dummy partition within CentOS and no info being saved to it )

I also have the original VDI file.


I, however, do not have the XML config file.

I only need a single HTML file within that hard drive. I don't need anything fancy. Is there anything I can do retrieve the information. I tried using CloneVdi to alleviate some issues but it doesn't recognize the snapshot.vdi images.

ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED

Could I construct a custom XML file to outline the parent / child relationship between the original file and the snapshots?

Forgot to mention I also have the original .sav file as well.

I don't know if such a thing is really possible. But you might be able to make a new guest with a snapshot or three, then open the new guest's XML and see how it's laid out. Then edit a copy of that XML to insert your drives in the proper places and see what you get.

Eh?

If the snapshot chain is valid then CloneVDI will recognize it. You may have to put the base VDI in the same folder as the snapshot VDI(s).
