[ale] Virtual machine

[Lightner, Jeff]

I haven’t used Dejavu/Duplicity but if you’re sure the size of the file was 50 GB are you sure the backup you restored from is the most recent one?   Many backup tools save more than one backup image over time.   Also its possible that you have an older “full” backup with the 18 GB file and a newer “incremental” that contains the 50 GB file that you need to restore.

Hi there

Looking for some pointers.

I had a Window 8 virtual machine (.vdi file of 50 GB) in my Virtual Box. Before doing a cleaning installation of Ubuntu, I backed up using dejavu (duplicity front end in Ubuntu).
After restore the virtual machine I have a .vdi file with a size of 18 GB, and I cannot run it. The blue screen of death shows a error.

Thanks for your help

Pablo
