PVE 8.4.12 Data Hunt for Recovery

[LittleFinger]

I have a borked PVE install I need to recover data off of. I can find the config files (/var/lib/lxc I think), but I'm having issues located the LXC and VM "drives." I was told everything I needed was in "/etc/config," but there's no config folder in this version. Maybe I looked in the wrong location?

Is there more than just the config and virtual drive data I'd need to collect before wiping and reinstalling Proxmox?

I can't add a new server to do backups to, I have SFTP access (been browsing via Filezilla), no console access via the WebUI.

For Proxmox VE, the LXC config file is under: /etc/pve/lxc. And the VM config file is under: /etc/pve/qemu-server
Have you try to use command vzdump <VMID> to backup your VM or lxc out?

I could try remote SSH when I'm back at it. Provided I can, how can I save it to another server?

SFTP access works.
