How to recover backup files from disk

[lumox]

Hi,
I think that my Proxmox machine has passed away. Now, I want to recover the last backup files which I had no opportunities to backup elsewhere.
They are saved on the same disk in which runs the OS.
What should I do?
Thanks

depends on what you mean with "passed away" - you can try booting a live cd and see if you can still access the disk you are interested in, how exactly that works depends on your storage setup..

The Proxmox machine can't even boot. Do you mean any linux live cd to get access to the disk?

again - it depends on the storage you are using. if you use ZFS on /, you need a live cd that has ZFS or at least the option of installing it. otherwise, any somewhat recent live CD should work, yes.

No zfs. here is a screenshot I took some time ago
