Hello everyone
To restore a specific disk from a backup, is it correct to use the pbs-restore command directly?

Hi,
you can directly restore a disk by running

proxmox-backup-client restore <snapshot> <archive-name> <target>

snapshot will be the name of the snapshot, archive-name the name of the disk as provided by

proxmox-backup-client list

and target the destination you want the data to write to.

but this command not skip zero in sparse file and not convert raw file to qcow2. how can do this?

An option would be to map the disk using proxmox-backup-client map <snapshot> <volume> and use qemu-img convert -f raw <loopdevice> -O qcow2 <filename>.qcow2

Thanks, can I use

pbs-restore <snapshot> <volume> <filename>.qcow2 --verbose --format qcow2 --skip-zero

instead of map and convert?
