I had a Virtual Machine inside which I had my PHP project. The project was developed using Netbeans, and I used its local history extensively.

My VM Ubuntu installation got corrupted, so I ended up creating a new VM. I was able to copy over most of the files from the VDI (I attached it to the new VM), but I can’t figure out where netbeans’ local history is saved. I copied over the Netbeans project folder, but the history doesn’t seem to be saved here.

Does anybody know how I can recover the Netbeans history?

    Local History is kept in the .netbeans settings folder. On my Windows 7 machine that is located at <HOME>/.netbeans/<NB_VERSION>/var/filehistory where HOME is my user home and NB_VERSION is the version of NetBeans (e.g. 7.0).

    Unfortunately this is an all or nothing thing. There is no way, that I can tell, to find specific projects. So, if you have local history for projects on your host machine you run the risk of overwriting these.
