Since double clicking the VMDKMounter application did nothing, I rebooted the Mac with OS X 10.8.3 to no avail.ģ. Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/VMDKMounter.appĢ. I have installed OSXFUSE 2.5.5 and VMDKMounter 3.1.3 as indicated using Pacifist install. Thank you very much WoodyZ & MacsRule for your kind help. If you have to restore a properly backed up Virtual Machine that is not as current at least you'll have a working Virtual Machine and current User Data to go forward with when you find out your Time Machine Backup of the Virtual Machine fails.Īlso have a look at: Best Practices for virtual machine backup (programs and data) in VMware Fusion (1013628) Then keep the User Data that is stored within the Virtual Machine backed up off of the Virtual Machine on a regular basis so as to always have a current User Data Backup. At a minimum I would exclude Virtual Machines from Time Machine and with the Virtual Machines shutdown, not suspended, and VMware Fusion closed then manually copy the Virtual Machines Package(s) to an alternate location, preferably on to a different physical hard disk. Also backing up Virtual Machines via Time Machine is disk/time intensive and wastes a tremendous amount of space for something that may be corrupt and worthless come time to restore it. * It is a known fact that Time Machine is not 100% reliable backing up/restoring Virtual Machines under all circumstances/conditions. vmdk's directly under OS X it requires installing the VMDKMounter.app from, say VMware Fusion 3.x, and OS X Fuse. Have a look at: Managing Virtual Hard Disks & Add an Existing Virtual Hard Diskįor mounting. Sorry, but I just don't have the time to give step-by-step directions at the present time.īottom line is always work with a copy of the virtual hard disk (or Virtual Machine Package), not the original, and or ensure you have a proper * backup first before doing anything!
