.zst backup

I assume you are referring to a Proxmox backup file of a VM in the vzdump-qemu-<vmid>-<timestamp>.vma.zst format.

This compressed file/archive contains all of the the VM's config & the virtual disk/s of that VM.

So first you will have to extract the required disk/s from that archive & then use it accordingly to copy/write to a physical medium. You may have other issues after that.

Here is an example of such an extraction:

zstd --decompress --stdout vzdump-qemu-<vmid>-<timestamp>.vma.zst | vma extract - extract

See here an example thread on these forums.

Good luck.
