Restore Virtual Machines after Host machine reinstall

Post by confuseis »

Hi All

My machine keeps reebooting itself need to rule out if its the host machine is exhibiting problems or the VMs that are crashing the machine

I am using the 4.3.20 version of virtual box

What do I need to do to restore the machines after the Host OS reinstall? I tried this before but the VM's would not boot

Im guessing back up the VHD, Backup the snapshot's

Reinstall Virtualbox, point it to the VHD, point it at the snapshots.

Is there a backup & restore tool for Virtualbox & am I being to simplistic?

Thanks for reading
