Hi everybody,<\/p>\n

I get an issue on my VM today , so that I can\u2019t open it anymore.
\nWhen trying a\u00a0 system restore I get the same state.
\nI was really embarrassed to fail to restore my VM (as a huge work was done on it)
\nBelow we will see how to fix this issue<\/p>\n

Issue description
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nInvestigations
\nI have checked the VM folders , still got the snapshots but can\u2019t even load them :\/
\nBelow you can also see that VBOX machine definition file is now empty\u2026(I tried to adapt this file from a working VM but too many different parameters as the snapshot name\/numbers and some specific info related to each VM)
\nBy the way, issue\u2019s log says that a document is empty.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSolution
\nUsing a file text editor, I have copied the contain of the file with -prev<\/em> suffix and added it to the VirtualBox Machine Definition , then I clicked on refresh button and that\u2019s it my VM is again available.You can also use a CMD prompt to perform that.<\/p>\n

Command to use
\ncopy \"C:\\...\\yourvmdirectory\\YOURVBOXMACHINENAME.vbox-prev\" \"C:\\...\\yourvmdirectory\\YOURVBOXMACHINENAME\"<\/code>
\nExample
\nC:\\Users\\nso>copy \"C:\\Users\\nso\\VirtualBox VMs\\CTMSRVCENTOS-------- CENTOS ISO 7 10 Clone\\CTMSRVCENTOS-------- CENTOS ISO 7 10 Clone.vbox-prev\" \"C:\\Users\\nso\\VirtualBox VMs\\CTMSRVCENTOS-------- CENTOS ISO 7 10 Clone\\CTMSRVCENTOS-------- CENTOS ISO 7 10 Clone\"
\nRemplacer C:\\Users\\nso\\VirtualBox VMs\\CTMSRVCENTOS-------- CENTOS ISO 7 10 Clone\\CTMSRVCENTOS-------- CENTOS ISO 7 10 Clone (Oui\/Non\/Tous) :
\n1 fichier(s) copi\u00e9(s).
\nC:\\Users\\nso><\/code>
\nRefresh your VM
