Hi there,
I'm working with Parallels Desktop for Mac 18.3.2 and Parallels Toolbox 6.02 still on macOS Mojave.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
My actual question right here in the beginning: can I somewhere in the 'xyz.pvm'-package find the filename of the 'xyz-0.hdd.0.{5fbaabe3.-1234-...-aab41}.hds' file, which was >> originally << assigned to (or: resided inside) the 'xyz.pvm'-package?
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
What had happened:
Yesterday I deleted some of my obsolete VMs (Window 11, V 22H2) via the control center and since I had missed to let them delete by the control center as well in Finder, I had to delete the .pvm-files manually - where I mixed things up, deleted two wrong .pvms and emptied the trash.
Shortly after that I even made things worse, when I started one of the VMs (with important data on it), then realized, what had happened and in conclusion tried to reconnect control center instance "A" with the "A".pvm/.hdd/.hds - but mixed up everything even more and even destroyed another .hds-file.
And no - I don't have backups of those files ...
... but I was able to recover at least the .hds volumes and I still have the folder structure of the .pvm-file.

most important is, to have the folder structure, the .hds -, the config.pvs- and the config.pvs-file to recover a VM.
But since I mixed things up I need to know which .hds-file originally was inside which .pvm-packet ...
So, here comes my question again: can I somewhere in the 'xyz.pvm'-package find the filename of the 'xyz-0.hdd.0.{5fbaabe3.-1234-...-aab41}.hds' file, which was > originally < assigned to (or: resided inside) the 'xyz.pvm'-package?
Thank you all in advance and best regards,
