Restoring data from a virtual disk
Restoring data from a virtual disk can be somewhat more difficult than from a regular physical disk. However, if you follow certain steps and use the right tools, you have a good chance of successfully recovering lost information.
The first thing to do is to create a backup copy of your virtual disk before starting the data recovery process. This will avoid possible problems or damage at the file system level itself.
Then you can use a specialized software tool to scan and search for deleted files on your virtual disk. Some of these programs can offer different scanning methods (basic/deep), and also support different file formats (photos, videos, text files).
One of the most common tools for this task is VirtualLab Data Recovery Software from BinaryBiz. The program has functionality for working with all possible types of hard drives: VMDK/VHD/VHDX/QED/Disk Image Files (.img)/RAW Disk Images (.dd/.iso). There are other alternative programs, such as VMFS Recovery or R-Studio.
After the scan is complete, you can view the list of found files and select the ones you want to restore. Please note that some tools may require the purchase of a license for full access to data saving features.
It is important to remember the following factors:
1. The sooner you start the recovery process after deleting/losing data, the more chances you have to get the information back.
2. Never write new information to your disk before the final ego restoration operation.
3. If the device had a hard disk (physical) damage, it is better to contact the specialists of the computer support service center for help.
The reliability of the success of this task may vary due to the complexity of the file structure of the guest OS B system
