We have an vmware (6.0) machine that uses vmdk-files. There are flat.vmdk and delta.vmdk files.
The files are dated with 27.05.2021. As far as I know, the flat.vmdk are read only and did not get changed, the changes are written in the delta.vmdk files.
Now we have the problem that the flat.vmdk file is corrupt. We have a backup of this flat.vmdk file from 18.05.2021.

Files that neet do replaced with:
29.05.2021 12:14 145.999.527.936 disk0249163481-flat.vmdk
29.05.2021 12:15 997.989.285.888 disk3989547843-flat.vmdk
It is possible to replace only the corrupt flat.vmdk with the older version? If yes, have someone an tutorial or instructions how to do?
Thanks for any help.
