  • Thank you. The customer do have an export of the database. I think they just used FTP to get it off the VM, but it is possible to mount a network share and export directly to that. Commented Mar 15, 2013 at 6:57
  • I have been toying with the idea of suspending the VM and then taking a full copy over to another host and then try to a) Resume it from the sleep, or b) boot it up, followed by a reboot and fsck. The idea is that since I still have the suspended VM on the original host, I may be able to resume that one if the copy doesn't work on the other host. Commented Mar 15, 2013 at 7:01
  • Also FWIW the problem with going back to a backup is that it is feared that all the backups taken for the last couple of months are corrupt. Commented Mar 15, 2013 at 7:18
  • @Johan this is more than probably true, most if not all backup (since the problem occurred) are probably corrupted. The same might be true for the database export. Good luck again, you will need it! Commented Mar 15, 2013 at 7:57
