Impossible to save some snapshot due VM is being found

Hello

I use ghettoVCB for the virtual computer backup for my NAS & after a while some of the virtual machine are not been saved. So I had a quick glance in the script and went through a dry that gave me below output;

I went in the connection of vSphere and had a looked in the VM's to see if snapshots are actually taken. But there is not, and I assumed that this is due to some files left during execution of the script. Alto! I found these delta files in the directory of the virtual machine. Below is the output;

This is the max that I can go to and I wanted to do not remove or change anything. What can I do to fix this?

Hello

The script is OK, you have files of snapshot down there.

In vSphere Client or web client, choose "Consolidate" to get rid of them and does not change your virtual machine.

  • Compacted Outlook Express and save some of my emails. Now, I need access to the following, but can not open them. How to reopen these emails? __

    Compacted Outlook Express and save some of my emails.  Now, I need access to the following, but can not open them.  How to reopen these emails?

    Hi Redtiger1705,

    Lost emails immediately after compact preforming?
    If so, Outlook Express creates BAK files before compaction. They are copied there as a precaution, in case something goes wrong with the compaction. The following steps should help those rear:

    1) open Outlook Express and go to tools, Options, maintenance, store folder. Copy the entire path to the storage folder, and then click OK.  Close Outlook Express.

    (2) go to the basket and search for all files with the .bak extension.  Restore the most recent .bak files. That he will put in the OE store folder, but still like a BAK file.

    (3) click on start, run and paste the path that you copied in step 1 in the run box, and then press ENTER.

    4) click Tools, Folder Options. In the Folder Options window, click the view tab.
    (5) less advanced, uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types".
    (6) you should see the two sent a Sent Items.dbx from the file as well as the Items.bak. Rename the Sent Items.DBX to Sentold.dbx and Rename Items.Bak sent to Sent Items.DBX. When you open OE, your messages sent items must be restored.

  • Can I record radio programs in my windows media player.i have radio 7, is it possible to save some of these programes

    In my Windows Media Player 11, I have some Radio Stations, which are good and strong impact. Now it is Possible to save some of this Radio, to listen to later. The I like is BBC Radio 7, and shows that I like, is he died to save. Please let me know. Thank you. I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA. WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11,

    Hi Bobdunford,

    Windows Media Player does not support the radio recording. Radio stations that you receive with the player are listened to and cannot be recorded or saved to a file.

    You can use Windows sound recorder to record the radio or to download and use any third-party application using your favorite for registration search engine.

    Record sounds

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Impossible to save mswmm as film

    Hello! I have windows 2.6, a fact Director project mswmm but it of impossible to save it in a movie! I get the same message all the time, that there is need more space or other! What can I do? I have windows 7! Thnx

    Dear Sir

    I also tried these solutions but not at all, the same message. I unchecked the filters and it was worse, because the message appeared just after registration!
    Is there something else to do? I also tried with all the filters checked, nothing more!
    I am very disappointed!

    =========================================
    Have you try to record as. WMV and DV - AVI? Sometimes
    DV_AVI gives more effective results.

    Considerate_guy info was correct. The questions of the
    type you deal to happen when the video driver is
    damaged or must be updated when the source files are
    incompatible or damaged and when the project is too
    important or complex.

    I think that your source files are the problem.

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

    There is a downloadable version of Vista Movie Maker 6
    running on Windows 7. This is a more advanced program
    Movie Maker 2.6 and it may be worth a try.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

  • We must save some emails received by Hotmail. Is their way of doing with them retaining indefinitely as e-mail?

    Original title: Hotmail email

    We must save some emails received by Hotmail. Is their way of doing with them retaining indefinitely as e-mail? We get a lot of good articles to friends, that we want to keep for future reference. We appreciate any ideas that others may have. This e-mail message set up came with our computer that uses widows 8 operating system on a 64-bit desktop computer manufactured by HP. Thank you for any help you all can provide. Fred and Joan.

    I beg of you.  Another tip.  If you use Hotmail from the Web site (which has been renamed Outlook.com), you can use the Archive button on the toolbar at the top.  The first time you use it, it will ask you which folder you want to move the messages archived at.  It should not be called "Archive".

  • Save all snapshots of history in the form of files

    I admit, I love save snapshots of history! Sometimes, I want to save them in a file later once the image has been closed.

    I wrote an action to save the 10 current snapshots on the files. It works fine with the following limitations:

    (1) she recorded only 10 snapshots (it is easily developed if necessary)

    (2) the snapshots must be named 'Snapshot 1', 'Snapshot 2"etc.

    This action does not work if the snapshot has a different name.

    Does anyone know of a script that is similar?

    Here is a sample of the recorded text action steps:

    Set: Save First 10 History Snapshots to File
      Action: Save First 10 History Snapshots to File
      Select snapshot “Snapshot 1”
      Make document
      Using: Current History State
      Save
      Close
      Select snapshot “Snapshot 2”
      Make document
      Using: Current History State
      Save
      Close
    

    This script will save all snapshots in a folder called instant out of the paths of documents, each file is saved as a jpg with the name of the snapshot file.

    #target photoshop;
    app.bringToFront();
    main();
    function main(){
    if(!documents.length) return;
    try{
        var Path = activeDocument.path;
        }catch(err){
            alert("You save your document before running this script!");

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var now = doc.activeHistoryState;
    var Snaps = snapShotList();
    var outputFolder = Folder(Path + "/snapshots");
    if(!outputFolder.exists) outputFolder.create();
    for (var z in Snaps){
        revertNamedSnapshot(Snaps[z]);
        var saveFile = File(outputFolder + "/" + Snaps[z].toString().replace(/\./g,'_') + ".jpg");
        SaveForWeb(saveFile,80);
        }
    doc.activeHistoryState = now;

  • cannot save as # because the file is not found

    Using photoshop elements 11 (updates are current) using window 10 operating system... after installation of the updates of Windows 10 (without a restore point saved... yes I'm a fool)... photoshop began to act up.  On all but the drive root (C :), when I put them in a file jpg for editing and then try to save it with a changed name using the command file save as...)
