Moving Drupal Jumpbox from Parralels 3.0 to VMWare Fusion
This used to be much easier before Parallels release version 3.0. You might simply try to backup to a Windows or NFS share (see the JumpBox backup and restore instructions) and restore to a fresh Drupal JumpBox on the Fusion server. If you don't want to do that, you can try the following procedure.
With 3.0 you may recall that when you first started your JumpBox it asked you if you wanted to convert your disks to the new parallels 3.0 format. This conversion complicates the task at hand but doesn't make it impossible (I don't think. I am pretty sure I tried this back when 3.0 first came out, but I am working from memory at the moment. So, I can't guarantee that it will work.).
