I think it would help if you gave exact details of the type of vm it is... the format, fs, ect..
There shouldn't be a problem doing what you want.. but without more info.. noone will be able to help you :( |
I've used Acronis for this job, but you can probably use a different bare metal backup program.
Remove the Virtual machine additions, if any. Backup your system from within the VM. Restore to a physical harddrive. You might have problems with the kernel, and device drivers being different in the VM than in the physical machine. A rescue disk of your distro can usually be used to fix those, with some manual work. You're probably better off saving your data and doing a reinstall of the system, then restoring your data. |
