Recommended Posts

So i made a stupid mistake deleting the file and lost all of my VM's, I still have the img files and am looking for a way to import them back in?  Is this possible?  I have tried to setup a few by choosing the appropriate osx and make the changes in the gui, linking the img file as the hard drive.  However i a start shell screen when i launch them.  Any ideas?

If you were running the appdata backup plugin with the libvirt backup option enabled, there's a copy in your backup share

I thought i had it checked but apparently it was not.  It looks like it is the only file that i do not have a back up of. :(  Back up the usb once a day but not that file DOH!

I think (at least in theory) you would create a new VM (with the same settings etc as the old VM), but point it at the existing vdisks.  Never had to do it though.

I have tried to set them up the same way but no such luck they will not start.  I have created a new one it starts fine, but if i point it to the old img it 490538322_ScreenShot2021-04-30at6_21_46PM.thumb.png.d35e02b35f6c234ad2db5e5bc731533f.png

Going to answer my own question.  It appears that I had to choose the Seabios from the windows plavor on drop down.  This resolved my linus vm's and windows.  see this page for info..
