Now, How to Backup Installed Guest OS & restore back later without losing anyData from VMware-guest os) Thank You!
Well, seems you really have no idea about virtualization... Guest OS is nothing more then a set of single flat files If they are on external drive, you can see that whatever happens to your main internal HD (whatever OS is running) does not affect files on external USB drive
thanks for the knowledge well.. i do know that external hd will not be affected deleted by refreshing or reinstalling. i just have No idea, how to recover Vmware Guest Os in-case of any mishap. Vmware reinstall & Can recopying or restoring (MyDocuments/Virtual Machines/Guest OS Folder) make it Play again? Thanks !
