Problem with Restore

Good evening, everyone,

Let me explain my problem:

In 2017, I backed up a virtual machine with Windows 7 mounted on proxmox 4
The backup of this virtual machine has been saved with great care on a lot of hard disks, I would like to point out that before saving it on a hard disk I also tried to restore this backup on another server with proxmox and it worked properly.

The only problem that comes to my mind is that maybe I backed up to a beta version of proxmox. 4.x

_____

After 3 years, I need to access the data on this virtual machine again.

So I tried all these procedures:

- Restore to Proxmox 6 (Failed)
- Restore to Proxmox 5 (Failed)
- Restore to proxmox 4 (failed )

The error is ALWAYS this:


restore vma archive: vma extract -v -r /var/tmp/vzdumptmp19596.fifo /disk2/dump/vzdump-qemu-108-2017_08_12-05_38_22.vma /var/tmp/vzdumptmp19596

- I tried to extract the .vma.lzo file with vma extract and the problem is the same
- I tried to turn the file into a read file and start the machine but it goes wrong and doesn't start.
- I've been following any guide related to this issue on this forum for 2 weeks, to no avail.


My basic need is to retrieve the content of C: of this virtual machine, I have no other need
Thank you for help
 
hi,

- I tried to extract the .vma.lzo file with vma extract and the problem is the same
can you try extracting with lzop -d?

did you try restoring the backup somewhere else?
 
that's unfortunate.

The only problem that comes to my mind is that maybe I backed up to a beta version of proxmox. 4.x
if that was the case then your backup is probably not recoverable...
