description: We have back up of a OpenVZ VM, vzdump111.tar.gz. When we untar the vzdump, We get DiskDescriptor.xml and root.hdd. I have run the following command, ploop mount -r DiskDescriptor.xml The following output, I got it. Opening delta /serverbackup/root.hdd/root.hdd Reopen rw /serverbackup/root.hdd/root.hdd Error in ploop_check (check.c:574): Dirty flag is set Adding delta dev=/dev/ploop58542 img=/serverbackup/root.hdd/root.hdd (ro) Now, I want to extract a specific file from the ploop device /dev/ploop58542, like /home/someuser/public_html/abcd.com/thisfile.php How can I extract this file ? There is a same question answered here, But there is not answer. More over, it points to a manual without a solution. Link to it: Extract files from ploop disk image
