If you’ve fought the fail of corrupt ESX snapshots and missing -flat.vmdk files (once the -flat.vmdk file is gone, so is your data), you’ve experienced the joy of hoping you have a backup somewhere… anywhere.

Max has a nice collection of resources to monitor snapshot removal, check progress, recover from corruption, kill a hung VM and generally give you a better tomorrow.

While there is no easy way out, you may still survive.
