more highlight on the screup

original file was named as appsvr ever since we did a clone (full) it has new name or image called web svr
i dont see the original name for the diskimage it starts with

Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-cl2-000003-cl1.vmdk

nad respective files are getting linked wiht this image

i cna see some snapshots on suspended mode i belevae this is because of the power filure

please help me to get 200 mb of db and store files

regards

Hi
your info is quite confusing.
Do I guess right that you want to recover the VM with
displayName = "WEBSVR01" ?

To recover data from that VM we need to know the contents of "E:\Backup VM FULLL WEBSVR" - please post the usual data from that directory too.

The vmdk Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-cl2-000003-cl1.vmdk in the directory
D:\DATA Office Screw\02102010\WEBSVR01\ is incomplete - this files are missing

D:\DATA Office Screw\02102010\WEBSVR01\Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-cl2-000003-cl1-s002.vmdk
D:\DATA Office Screw\02102010\WEBSVR01\Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-cl2-000003-cl1-s003.vmdk
D:\DATA Office Screw\02102010\WEBSVR01\Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-cl2-000003-cl1-s004.vmdk
D:\DATA Office Screw\02102010\WEBSVR01\Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-cl2-000003-cl1-s005.vmdk
D:\DATA Office Screw\02102010\WEBSVR01\Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-cl2-000003-cl1-s006.vmdk

I guess we would safe a lot of time if I can inspect the mess directly ...
