Can I roll back a virtual machine?

Hello

I'm a user of VMware player, basically, what I want to do is to roll back my VM at an earlier date, in order to have the latest good installation of the guest OS (linux), this is the case I deleted some system files, thank you.

VMware Player is pretty basic, you can create and run Virtual Machines, but it was not built according to backup/restore.  It cannot take snapshots or manipulate them if transfer you a Virtual Machine that contains snapshots of another product VMware.  It is worth noting that snapshots are not account as backups anyway.

The main thing is, if you need pick up something and then save your Machines virtual everything as anything else you want to be able to restore if/when necessary.

  • Satellite L750 - Windows 10 - can I roll back to Windows 7?

    I upgraded to 10 Windows in Windows 7, but I lost the wireless driver and cannot download it from anywhere (unless you know better). Also, I lost Internet Explorer. When I tried to download the system I have an updated copy even though God knows where he is.

    My question is - can I roll back to Windows 7, which I was pretty happy?

    As much as I know L750 is not supported for Win10 so I think that the best option for you is to go back to Win7.
    After several problems with Win10, I did the same thing and I am happy now using original Win7.

  • Can I just create a virtual machine with the installation of operating system and Application in an external drive?

    People,

    Hello. I use VMPlayer to install virtual machines a few OS in my laptop.

    Because my laptop's hard drive space is not enough to create a VM more to install Oracle Linux and its Application, can I just create a virtual machine in my laptop and then install Oracle Linux and its Application in an external USB disk?

    You can create and save the Virtual Machine in any place that you have read & write access to and enough space to support what is being installed.

  • Physical disk how can I add in the Virtual Machine?

    I am trying to set up a network of storage, but I discovered it is there is a limitation for the addition of physical hard disks in the virtual machine.

    I have 1 virtual hard disk for the operating system (SCSI), an invited so I try to add more than 4 disks, but it should not add more than 3. They showed that (IIRC).

    I try to add 4 x 1 TB as physical hard disk in virtual machine hard disks, but it says that I must remove one to add.

    1. in the settings of the Virtual Machine, is there a difference between (SCSI) (IDE) and why are the physical disks (IDE)?

    2. What is the limitation of total hard drives under the VM settings, four?

    Johwwy

    physical disks can be detected such as IDE or SCSI - depends on the drivers used by the host

    SATA in ide-compat mode is used as IDE

    SATA AHCI mode is detected as SCSI

    It is possible to rewrite the descriptions after their creation.

    It is a little advanced - see my notes

    http://sanbarrow.com/VMDK-basics.html#changeadapter

    for a start, it may be necessary to also change the geometry... ask first so uncertain.

    I think the limit of physical disks that can be attached to a virtual machine is 64 = 4 x 15 - scsi and IDE 4-disc drives

  • Can I deploy the same virtual machine to VMWare Player running of several PCs without network problems

    Hi all

    I am a newbie so please forgive if this is a stupid question...

    Can I deploy the same virtual machine (XP Pro), with the same machine name and the same GUID for several machines on a network without going through issues such as errors of names duplicate etc. Or will I sysprep prior to deployment.  If so, is there an easier way to do it?

    Not sure if this is important, but I need to use Bridged networking due to problems with our personal firewall.

    You will need to deal with the dupe GUID. Sysprep is a method.

  • How to back up virtual machine (80GB)?

    People,

    Hello. I use VMPlayer3 and Guest OS Windows Server 2003. A virtual hard disk to the Virtual Machine is 80 GB, and I need to extend it to 150 GB. Before you do that, I need to back up the virtual machine. Because its size is 80 GB, it will occupy 20 DVD. It's really not practical to do so. Can people you tell me an easy way to back up the virtual machine?   Thank you.

    Yes, I suggest you make a backup.

  • How can I create a simple virtual machine with the CD in a newWorkflow

    I created a new workflow with simple virtual machine and added a cdrom workflow but an error is shown.

    How can I reuse of so that the new created VM add a new cdrom in a workflow

    Captura.PNG

    Help me please

    First of all, you only need a single attribute of type VC:VirtualMachine, not two as in the screenshot. You don't need to specify its value; When the first workflow completes, its output should be attributed to this attribute, and then the assigned value must be passed as input to the second workflow.

    To check/edit links, open the first workflow to change, go to the 'Visual links' tab and make sure the workflow output is line connected to the attribute. Do the same for the second workflow, and then make sure that the attribute is connected to the line to the corresponding input parameter.

    Take a look at the workflow attached if you don't know how the maps should look like.

  • Host Windows system restore back up virtual machines the VMWare Workstation?

    Is it save to perform a restore of the system on a Windows host running VMWare Workstation 9.0.2 with the premises of virtual machines? I just need confirmation that the VMs will be still functional after restoring the system.

    Welcome to the community,

    System Restore should not touch all personal documents, what configuration file and virtual disk are in reality. However, a restoration of the system can change the parameters of the application Windows for for example VMware Workstation. Anyway most that should happen is that you have to reinstall VMware Workstation in such a case.

    see "what files changed during a system restore?" at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq

    In any case, it is always useful to have a current backup!

    Kind regards

    Kamlesh.

    Hello

    Yes, you can clone the virtual computer.

    But your new virtual machine (the clone) will have none of the snapshots of the source of the VM.

    This will be just a version of the source running.
