Hi,

how can I access data from vzbackup image (not compressed)? Is there a change to mount it, or unpack it other way? I can't restore it as whole, I need just few files from backup.

You can decompress it via the command line tool vma. You get the raw file which can be kparted and mounted via loopback device.

Code:
lzop -dc /path/to/file.vma.lzo | vma extract - /path/to/extract/file
