VMware Fusion 6.x - CPU has been disabled by guest after attempting to upgrade the virtual OS to High Sierra (which I just learned is not supported by this older version of VMware Fusion).
Unfortunately, I had a Filemaker database server running on the virtual machine, with 2 databases running on it, and it turns out only 1 of the databases was included in the back-up scheme. I urgently need to find out if there is any way I can access the files stored on the virtual machine from the host machine (Mac OS 10.7).
I am completely at a loss: this setup was conceived by my brother-in-law, who was my IT go-to-guy and a very highly regarded IT security professional. However, he passed away last year after a motorcycle accident and I have not yet found a new trustworthy IT support person/company who know their way around both Mac and Windows, hence my request here. I am self-employed and do not have huge budgets backing me up.
Edit: of course if anyone knows how I can get the VM up and running again (is there a way to do a roll-back to the older version of my OS on the VM?), that would be even better, but I'm not getting my hopes up as yet...
