Get files from dead VM

[grants235]

So I have a linux VM that I need to get files off but it will currently not boot. My previous snapshot does not contain everything I need. What is the best way to get some files off of it.

I have head I might need to add another bootable drive, boot from the new one, and then mount the old drive but I do not know how to add an additional drive with an OS on it, I have only figured out how to add additional clean drives.

Thanks for any help

Adding existing drives to a VM is not exposed in the GUI (yet). The easiest way is using qm importdisk. Some usage examples are in the server migration article. There is also a man page for (all of) qm.

Using a live ISO could also be an option
