Hey, for the last couple of months my Proxmox Hard drive started failing and I tried to back up all of my VM's a few worked but 2 of them wouldn't. I also tried migrating it but that also did not work. Below is message i receive when i try to do anything.

yes the part of the vm disk is probably not readable
 
yes the part of the vm disk is probably not readable
Thank you for the response, do you have any recommendation on what I should do to be able to save any new information added after the last backup, or will I need to manually transfer the new information over when I restore the backup.
 
if you can, backup the data you need from inside the vm, but i would not keep my hopes up, since it seems the disk is damaged/broken and some data will be lost

also, i'd probably use a live cd to make a complete image (e.g. with dd) of your disk and operate on that
