It then keeps the changes since that time in a separate set of files. A snapshot is a VMware Fusion feature that let's you go back in time and return to a state of your VM at the time you made the snapshot. Thank you for your help with all of this,ġ. I'm assuming I'll have to buy a new copy of Quicken and hope it will run on XP Pro. I originally used Fusion after I switched to Mac, but now only use it for a few programs, most especially including Quicken. If I go with your other suggestion about manually dragging a copy of the virtual machine, where do I find that file to drag/copy?

I'd be very interested in the tool you mentioned about this but don't know how to inquire about it as I'm very new to this forum.Ĥ. Can you tell me how to exclude the virtual machine folder from Time Machine? And I guess I'd then have to backup the virtual machine to an external HD using Retrospect or something similar?

The version of Windows I'm currently running in Fusion is Windows XP Pro and I still have the install disk so am hoping I can install that on the new MBPro after I update Fusion to 11.5.x. I don't know what snapshots are and don't know how to commit or delete them.Ģ.
Hi.thank you so much for your response! I have a couple of further questions - and I'm not very conversant with Fusion in general, so.ġ. Otherwise, using finder when the VM is shut down, to drag a copy to an external drive periodically is the manual option. Wil (a top poster here) has a great tool to do that if you want something automated. Then I'd exclude the virtual machine folder from time machine, and make other backup arrangements. If the VMWare tools upgrade process doesn't start automatically, do it manually from the menu
Time machine is not a reliable method to backup/move virtual machines, so if you're using the migration wizard, do it direct, machine to machine, or clone to an external drive with Carbon Copy Cloner, and then migrate from it.ġ) Shut down (not suspend) the VM on the old machineĢ) Delete/commit any snapshots on the old machineĤ) Uninstall Fusion 8 (drag it to the trash, if it even migrated) on the new machineĦ) Run Fusion, follow the security prompts carefullyħ) Start the virtual machine - it'll prompt you to upgrade the virtual hardware, do so You'll definitely need to upgrade to Fusion 11.5 to get it to run on Catalina.
