Have -delta.vmdk files, no -.vmsn files. How to restore guest OS to snapshot?

Hi,

By accident using Datastore browser I have deleted almost all files of one of the guest OS. Only vmdk files (flat and delta) survived. So far I have managed to run (using this link http://tinyurl.com/yda5f8d) the guest OS using its -flat.vmdk file and it is working fine. The problem is, it is a guest OS in the old state, and I'd like to revert to the latest snapshot (I have two actually).

 

I have ESXi 3.5 and using Tech Support Mode. So I have working base (flat) file, and not visible (from vClient) two snapshot files. Using Datastore browser I can see them as xxx-000001-delta.vmdk and xxx-000002-delta.vmdk. What kind of magic should I type in the console to restore my guest OS the the lates snapshot? It is ok to merge those snapshots into main flat file if it would be faster or easier.

 

Regards

Piotr
