hi
i somehow got into an error in my snapshot ids like following
parent vmdk file
parent id "ffffffffff"
CID "fd17ad33"
1st snapshot in row
parent id "fd17ad33"
CID "a511383b"
2nd snapshot in row
parent id "bef42eb1"
CID "dc0c75ea"
3rd snapshot in row
parent id "a511383b"
CID "7db2e155"
4th and should be last snapshot in row
parent id "7db2e155"
CID "bef42eb1"
as it seems to me, the third loads after the first and the second after my last snapshot. is there any easy way to correct this chain without breaking even more?
if i would just correct the parent ids in the vmdk files, would that help and be enough or will any other config files still refer to this corrupt chain?
is the parentFileNameHint important as well to refer in the correct order?
other it would even be possible for me to completely go without snapshot 2 in that row, since i got the data backup-ed externally from that snapshot and could recreate them otherwise.
i have to get back to my really last snapshot in order to access my missing files.
(i already have all vmdk files backed up as well. but not all delta vmdks since i ran out of space)
could a cause of this be a power-loss. our village was out of power for hours about three or four times. and one of those even killed my USP batteries
as i read now. i know i have been keeping the snapshots for far to long. but as the now attached images shows. it tells me i am at the latest snapshot. but still the play sigh is at the first. which confuses me even more
thank you soooooo much in advance for helping.
greetings
mike
