After backing up a VM what I do is to 'extract' the VMA file to a directory that is then backed up by restic. (This makes deduplication possible with restic). The original VMA is deleted at the end. All this is done automatically with scripts.

As you can see this specific VM has 2 disks and a firewall configuration.
I know my data is there and there are a lot of way of getting it (mounting, converting raw to XY, etc).
But I need to know what is the preferred/correct way to restore from this directory to a new PVE host (with ZFS).
I thought about 'vma create', but I really don't understand the documentation.

disk-drive-ide0.raw
disk-drive-ide3.raw
