Instant orphaned files - need to recover data on the basic disk

Hello

I'm sure this has been asked several times before, but how merge content from an instant orphan to the basic disk?

Reading over there seem to be several different methods to do so.

I have a virtual machine with three RDM, the virtual machine is running at the wide base VMDK disks but there is a single snapshot file associated with each base VMDK, snapshots do not appear in the Snapshot Manager.

I tried to change the snapshot. The VMDK files and change the parent CIDs for the basic disk, but still not instant show in the Snapshot Manager.

Is the best way to stop the virtual machine, remove the inventory and then add it to the inventory, I don't see the shots if the parent CID is correct?

What is a better method?

2. turn off then turn off the virtual machine (if it is not already off). Stop the current virtual machine with any Active snapshots.

3. once the virtual machine is completely turned off, create a unique snapshot of the virtual machine and do not feed upward after this step.

4 browse your data store for the virtual machine and look for the numbers you hard files. Instant latest should only be a few megabytes, and you want one that is just before that.

5. go to the command line console and edit the .vmx for your virtual machine in the container for data store. Looking for a similar article to the following for each of your virtual disks.

scsi0:0.present = "true"
scsi0:0.fileName = "???-00002.vmdk"
scsi0:0.deviceType = "scsi-hardDisk"

You want to change the "scsi0:0.fileName =" section under the same file name that you found in step 4. You will need to repeat this in the file for each virtual disk on your VM.
Save the .vmx file, overwriting the original.

6. now, it will be a long process, if the hard files are large (more than 20 concerts) and can last several hours. During this process, you may lose connectivity to your ESX Server on the client of the infrastructure. What you need to do is run the below command from within the container to store the virtual machine data.

vmware-cmd <your .vmx file> removesnapshots

7. once the previous step is complete, check your VM settings in client infrastructure and check that your virtual disks are now pointing to the original hard file (does not contain de-00001 etc.). If everything was successful, you should be able to power to the top of your VM.

8. once the virtual machine is running and check the operation, you can remove the last numbered - 0000x.vmdk that was created from your snapshot in the third stage (should only be a few megabytes). This file must have been ignored by the instant withdrawal because you have changed the .vmx file.

Question I have is if the basic disk has been changed today I lose all changes today when merging the snapshots (which have not been written to since 18:00 yesterday)- or will be the basic disk back to 18:00 yesterday and lose all changes today?

If you need to extract data from instant orphans, you know that you can NOT do without altering the current state
new files from today will still be there - but they are not referenced in the MFT and other pieces are replaced by old data of the orphan snapshot
If you must do this with a backup...

or - possibly use a snashot of the RDM, as it is now...

in any case – which gives good advice is almost impossible without sitting in front of the case

    Putting on my laptop yesterday, I was faced with a blue screen error message that even after running chkdisk keeps appearing, even on reboot in safe mode.

    Hello

    In my opinion, there are two solutions. Is, try to get the facilities WXP CD and see if you can fix it using the option to repair Windows XP Home edition or use supplied recovery media and do a clean install of the operating system. After doing this you will put factory once again and everything will be OK again.

    You will need to back up all your personal files, etc. before executing a factory reset - an option to do this is to use the facilities available in Windows 7, as described in the guide on the link below.

  • Satellite P200-1EE Possible to recover data on the HARD drive by placing it in an envelope?

    P200-1EE does not start after 2 weeks off is the case during a fan installation. Is it possible to remove the hard drive, put it in an enclosure and retrieve the data it contains on another PC? Or can anyone recommend how to recover data from the comfort of my own home?

    Thanks for your help

    I would say that your installation of fan caused this problem in the first place. I would check your installation for loose connectors, cards not seated properly, no fan or heatsinks screws tight etc..

    Everything you did everything by installing the new fan plugged the laptop. The hard disk, in my opinion, is perfectly fine. There is nothing wrong with it.

    Put the suspect hard drive in an enclosed and try to access the data on another PC. You will encounter problems with administrator access to certain folders so you will need to find a way to crack in these areas.

    If you had problems in the first place you probably should have this return to the place of purchase for them to watch.

    I hope that for your sake you have not turned into a frisbee.

    Good luck.

  • Recover data with the Diadem 11.0 PDM and Labview 8.6

    I have a VI in Labview 8.6, which generates an TDMS containing 5 channels of population data.  I did have problems with the VI until today when 4 out of the 30 TDMS files I generated could not be loaded in Diadem 11.0.  I got a Diadem declarant could not impoart all channels or channel data from this data source.  26 other loaded fine TDMS files and was able to run one of my VB scripts on the set of data without any problem.  TDMS repair tool requires at least Labview 2009 must be installed.  Is it possible to recover data from the 4 files, or is there a different tool I can try all the previous advice, I read on the various positions have not managed to provide an operational solution.  Any additional suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

  • HARD drive is not detected in BIOS - need to recover data.

    What happened is that my laptolaptop takes a long time to start, so I slapped him. After that I kept getting the error message "no boot device, please restart". So whenever I restarted I kept getting this message. I also sometimes had "Media Fail" message. I pressed F2 at startup to get into the Bios. Settings so check I saw that hard disk still showed it's a Hitachi one.

    My hard drive was clicking to it so I searched online advice on what to do and I saw on the opening of the hard drive in a clean environment, ensuring that no dust went on the drive. I expect the head being stuck on disc, but it was not stuck. So basically, I put the lid on. Since then, the hard drive was not detected.

    Not in the Bios (he said no). I bought a CD to restart which can temporarily become Windows to the screen under Xp, so I can go to the computer to retrieve data from the hard drive. It shows nothing. There is always a clicking hard drive, more a ticking sound. It is always possible that an expert could remove the hard drive and recover my data that are valuable photos and videos.

    Thank you

    What model of laptop do you have?
    Try to set the BIOS to default settings and check if the HARD drive is recognized correctly.

  • Can I Exchange an old HD XP to my new HD running Win 7? I need to recover data

    Hello

    I have an old m10560y of HP Media Center PC with a PJ751AV 160 G hard drive SATA 7200 RPM, which I removed because the motherboard is damaged. I was running Win XP on this machine. I only need to retrieve data on this drive... not going to use it with the new HD (below)

    I want to disconnect the existing 750 G HD (Win 7), plug the HD 160 G (Win XP), retreve data on an external hard drive and then plug the HD 750 G and be on my merry way.

    Can I do this?

    Will there be a problem running the old HD 160 G because it works under XP or it will be plug and play?

    If connected to a USB port, so no, the computer should detect Windows on the internal disk and boot off that. Not all models have motherboards that can even allow the boot off the USB connections. You should be fine. Even if it does not, simply unplug the USB cable before entering Windows and then plug it to the top.

  • How to recover data from the site?

    I just downloaded and installed DW CS6 on my computer and it seems to have completely replaced my old version of DW CS3. I have all my existing data of the site should have exported before doing so, but did not realize until I tried to recover the old data of site. A search on my computer of all the .ste files evokes nothing. I'll have to recreate all these data site from scratch?

    Site data, I guess you mean the files for your Web site.  If this is the case, then the answer is NO, you will not need to recreate from scratch, because during the installation of DW, it does not affect your personal data.

    In addition, when you have installed a newer version of DW CS6, he wrote too much the previous version of your DW CS3.  The two should always be on your hard drive so if you search for it, you will find it.

    If, by chance, you can't find your Web site files, you can download them from your host servers by using external FTP software or simply Import site using the DW module.

    Hope this reassures you that you haven't lost anything.  You can now post more questions to find out how to import or search for files on your hard drive.

    Good luck.

  • How to recover data from the browser tabs?

    Hello

    I am trying to retrieve data from the Firefox browser by dragging the tabs in a Windows/Mac/Linux application. Specifically, I was hoping to capture medadata HTML and video current time (for example, 01:23 05:00) YouTube pages for storage off favorite browser and reactivation.

    I couldn't find an online help or the documentation dealing with this issue.
    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    There is an additional command that is added at the end of the url of Youtube. You need to add & = t * m * s at the end of the url. Where the asterisks are, replace you them with numbers. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb7gTeLmpHs & t = 3m24s

    The m is s for seconds and minutes.

    You can also find this information by loading a video from Youtube, by dragging the time slider to the time you want to pause the video, and then right-click on the video and choose:

    'Copy the URL of the video at the present time'.

  • recover data after the update results in recovery mode

    Hello! I feel absolutely terrible and any help would be greatly appreciated. I have an old IPhone 4S that has been put into market and on himself. One of my friends told me to go to IoS9. Terrible mistake because it made my phone goes into recovery mode.

    I never did all backups on Icloud and on ITunes. Worse still, I never had ITunes in my life. (I am kind new to smartphones, this IPhone was given just for me)

    A friend of a friend has offered to help and I gave her my IPhone for a little more than 10 minutes. He has a Mac and said he could do something (legal or not, I have no idea). But then I realized that there are things really private in my IPhone that I would not want anyone other than me to see. So I asked him to stop whatever he was doing. The phone is still on the recovery mode when I got back, he had the phone for about 10-15 minutes, and I never gave him the passwords. My question is simple: would he able to access my data in any ways if he wanted to?

    I went to an Apple store and a saleswoman told me that there was no way he could have access to what in my phone as the phone was completely blocked / blocking. And then I'm going home and read things like Wondershare, on ways to get data without passwords and I completely panick on everything.  You have to be a complete genius this information?

    I guess I just need to be reassured. Thanks to you all.

    PS: I'm not English, I hope I have made myself understandable!

    If the phone goes into recovery mode, restore only on a new version of the iOS will be bring back to life.

    The password for the lock screen can't be changed if restore you to a computer that was used to put in place or to sync the phone in the past. Other computers cannot access the data on the phone, he's going to be wiped out during the installation procedure. If you never connected to a computer, the first time that you try to synchronize, the phone will be erased, over, synchronization, it will take the password of the lock screen to display on the phone.
