Hello.

Where are the config files for the virtual machines on Proxmox VE 3.4? I cant find any in /etc/pve
 
Hi,
look into /etc/pve/nodes/<nodename>/qemu-server/ for VMs and /etc/pve/nodes/<nodename>/openvz/ for Containers (in 3.4 in 4.0 it's the lxc folder).
Change <nodename> to the respective node name.

Note also that we have a symlink where /etc/pve/qemu-server/ points at the local nodes qemu-server folder.
 
I cant find any files, im currently in rescue mod and mounted my old drive to get only the important images from it.

That would be a good thing to mention if asking such questions, makes helping you easier. :)

The cluster file system is not mounted and thus you do not see any config files.

Try to mount it with:
Code:
pmxcfs -l

Which mounts it in local mode, additional info can be found here:

Else backup /var/lib/pve-cluster/config.db and maybe also /var/lib/pve-cluster/backup/* that is the database were the configs reside.
