Hi,
I extracted a damaged Virtual Server from our tapes the other day but i cant get it to work. The files that come from the tape are as follows:
Server-000001.vmdk
server.vmx
server.vmxf
servre_1-000001.vmdk
vmconfig.dat
If i try to do anything with that it says there is a file missing. How do i get that to work? It looks like its missing virtual hardware files maybe? can i copy them from the non working server or recreate them somehow? Or is it best to create a new Virtual machine and reconnect the Hardrives to the new virtual machine?
I cant convert what i have because of the same reasons it just errors saying unspecified file is missing.
Thanks for the help.
The files that seem to be missing is vm.vmsd, vm.nvram, vm-vmware.log, vm.vswp, vm-aux.xml.
Also the disks still seem to be in snapshotted mode.

I think we had a bit of a snapshot issue on the server. It was left unchecked i believe got too big to be backed up. Fortunatly we could restore from an older backup which worked perfectly with a direct VM restore.
Thanks for the help.
