I'm trying to learn the proper steps to back up and convert my existing VM's stored in ZFS into qcow2 to possibly try some other distros.

I found them I think correctly here:
Code:
rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0                56K   630G       56K  -
rpool/data/vm-103-disk-0               201G   630G      162G  -
rpool/data/vm-103-state-Update081718  2.87G   630G     2.87G  -
rpool/data/vm-104-disk-0              16.4G   630G     16.4G  -
rpool/data/vm-112-disk-0              13.0G   630G     13.0G  -
rpool/data/vm-115-disk-0              4.14G   630G     4.14G  -

And to convert 115, would this be correct?

Code:
qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -f raw  rpool/data/vm-115-disk-0   my/path/to/image/ImageName.qcow2
