I'm sure I did something stupid during or after the update from 3.0.2 to
3.0.4 last night. When I restart the vm, the state of the guest seems
to be 1 month old, just about the time of the last update.
Host: Fedora 9, Guest: WinXP Pro
In the past I've generated a snapshot just before updating VB. This
time I noted the number and size of the snapshots were large and decided
to remove a few (3 of 9) and not the most recent ones. Each deletion
took about 15 min.
But, I neglected to take a new snapshot just before the update :(
The app I use most in the guest, WinXP, is Quicken. Its data is now
about a month out of date. So too are the app's backup files within the
vm. But I do have week old backups of the Quicken data on another box.
The most recent files in the VM's snapshot directory are these (I've
called them A-E to skip the long UUID's).
Date Time Size File
Jul 11 3:25 4.8 GB A.vdi I presume snapshot on 3.0.2 update
Jul 11 3:25 0.3 GB B.sav What's a ".sav" file?
Aug 08 0:04 18.7 GB C.vdi Might one of these two be current
Aug 08 0:17 12.3 GB D.vdi before the update? This is the
approximate time of the update.
Aug 08 10:20 6.1 GB E.vdi I presume this is "current state"?
Is it likely that C.vdi or D.vdi contain WinXP/Quicken data from before
the update?
What is the recommended way to examine a snapshot to see if I should
revert to it?
Thanks,
Jon
