Firstly I am EXTREMELY new to this, and I am sure there is 'common' knowledge about dayz/*poch servers that I just don't know. But I am reading a lot and trying, just after a week of frustration and errors I am now here asking for help.
2nd. I am just wanting to make a small server so me, my daughter and a few friends can connect and play, maybe 10 people max.
3rd. A little history:
Set up a VM on my PC using an old copy of Vista32 Ultimate. Works! YAY!
Followed this tutorial on how to get an Epoch server going:
VERY GOOD video by the way.
It works! YAY!
Made a back up of the folder. YAY!
Followed this tutorial to get an Overpoch server going:
Hard to follow with him correcting himself, but it worked! YAY!
Try to make a backup, VM locked up. BOO!
VM now corrupted. BOO!
Start over, dunno how to recover. BOO!
Overpoch now working again, run around, things seem to work. YAY!
Try to install sheeps pack, it won't run anymore. BOO! (I forget the errors it was 3 days ago).
Try to copy back my back-up, VM runs out of space. (set to dynamically grow but it won't). BOO!
Restart, make new much larger VM, windows, etc...
Now I am back at this point following the above Epoch tutorial:
EPOCH server WORKS again.
I just do not know how to get a working Overpoch with the popular mods working.
(TBH sheeps mod has way too much stuff and sets gold prices such that you are richer than a king after 2 or 3 missions but I don't know how to get the nice things he has while omitting the rest)
If I follow the tutorial, I can get a basic server going, but following the vague instructions on any mod pack just blows up.
All state copy/paste/play...well it's not that easy for me apparently.
I have tried incorporating these 2 methods to get a modded Opoch server:
I would very much like to teamspeak or skype with someone that could really walkthrough how to get things working, and wouldn't mind teaching me a little as to why also. I want to learn as well as get something going.
Meanwhile I will keep trying as I have back-ups of back-ups of back-ups and keep trudging forward...but...help would be appreciated.

Ok,

and
https://github.com/Fallingsheep1985/0.15_Sheeps_Back_Baby_Standard_Overpoch(when I had a working Opoch server earlier)
I would very much like to teamspeak or skype with someone that could really walkthrough how to get things working, and wouldn't mind teaching me a little as to why also. I want to learn as well as get something going.
