Virtual Environment 7.2-11
I thought I was being a good IT person and performed a backup of my HelpDesk VM before shutting down the server to physically move it to another building. Unfortunately, when I went to start the VM it got stuck on Windows updates and seemed to be in a loop of "removing updates". I thought to myself "Good thing you took a backup.". Well, the backup failed at 2% or so and of course it had destroyed the existing disk as the first step of the restore. Do I have any recovery options at this point? Can the ZST backup file be converted to a disk I can attach to a similarly configured VM? Below is the log from the failing backup. The backup was to a Buffalo network attached storage device mounted with SMB/CIFS.
