[URGENT] Is it possible to recover a Snapshot deleted via the snapshot manager???

HI All

I have stupidly deleted a snapshot not thinking it would kill the VM. So now i have Snapshot 1 and 3. If i try and boot snapshot 3 it fails to boot. I really really need to get the snapshot 2 back. As i said i have deleted using the snapshot manager. Not sure if this makes it any easier/harder to recover.

Any help would be fantastic

THANKS,

MATT

Sorry I do not think once you have deleted the snapshot from the datastore that it can be recovered. If you still have 1 and 3 then you could revert to one of those possibly..

If I am wrong please someone correct me.. I have tested this and the files are in fact deleted.

I have Snapshot 3. But I cannot start it properly. All i get is a black screen. I dont really need the one i have deleted but it looks to have broken every thing. If i can get the 3 snapshot working that will be ok.

Thanks,
