March 10, 20197 yr Hi, i accidently deleted the file while replacing my cache drive. Now, when i start vm manager, it says "Libvirt Service failed to start." in VM Tab. How can i recreate this file, to get vm manager working again?

August 23, 20196 yr I also deleted my libvirt.img file accidentally I was able to recreate it but VMs section no longer seens my domain that I have created, although I can verify that the domains folders exist can someone help me reimport them so I can boot the VMs?

If you don't have a libvirt.img backup, and you should, you'll need to recreate the XMLs for all VMs, using the same config and pointing to the existing vdisks, uefi booting VMs might also require this.
August 23, 20196 yr I actually just fixed it so what I did is go through the motions of creating another Windows10 VM BUT instead of making a new vDisk I simply selected manual, and pointed to the already existing vdisk that I created before I bunged everything up. Windows10 VM booted as if nothing happened

Hi @JorgeB how do I restore if I do have a backup from CA Backup. I don't see a restore option for VM's, only for appdata within that plugin. Is it just a copy and paste the backup file to the actual location? Edited June 17, 20233 yr by abhi.ko
