A few days ago I published an entry about data loss due to Windows and VM Ware Fusion in cahoots with each other.
I commented that the virtual disk was loaded as it came a month and a half ago and that therefore all the data that was within that month and a half was lost.
Not quite, they were lost, yes, but VM Ware had created a second virtual disk which in its day concatenated with the first as a result of a SnapShot that I did. This small disk that actually contained all the changes for a month and a half was unreadable and impossible to mount with any image reader on the market; not even VM ware's own.
I downloaded Parallels Desktop because I didn't like it at all from VM and it turns out that it comes with an app called Parallels Explorer. It is a simple tool that mounts virtual disks to navigate within them. I only had to choose the lost VM Ware Fusion disk to recover each and every one of the lost files without any problem.
Good, just to say that VM Ware has an option above the virtual machine next to PAUSE where it facilitates making backup copies, so nothing ever hurts to make backup copies more than anything I say it because from my point of view VM Ware is better than parallels and I would not want you to stop trusting one or the other, the first copy as in everything always takes longer, the following ones take less time depending on what you have to update, Greetings
Congratulations! I once lost my data and since then I have been quite careful, surely you have recovered from an upset.
