Good morning, I tried to update ProxMox, but the system got corrupt, now I have a VM that I had not yet backed up, I wanted to know if I could somehow recover it?
In the /dev/pve folder I found all the files, but there are 2 for VM, how do I do it?

Those in the photos are the VM files that I found, I have to recover VM 102
 
I converted the vm to qcow2 now how do I import them?

The data is still there? If so, create a new VM with the same configuration (or as near as you can remember the settings) and just convert the qcow2 image back (similar command, but source and destination switched).
