Since I've been making mistake here and there, retrying the process several times (initially converting each logical partition into an image), the question struck qcow2. Since this process is rather straightforward, I won't go into detail here. Recently we had a ProxMox environment crash and needed to restore some files inside a VM.Press Ctrl+D and and launch the script, passing the filename of the QCOW2 file.It is compatible with Hyper-V, KVM, VMware, VirtualBox, and Xen virtualization solutions. Windows xp qcow2 file $ qemu-img convert -O qcow2 ubuntu.
